Most of these are illustrated by James E. Ransome - and there are Easter eggs to find, such as the fact that in one of these books, Ransome used Jerry Pinkney, another outstanding Black illustrator, as a model for one of the characters!

So behind the big poetry project (now about 20% done) I'm still working through that gargantuan children's book collection.

Kind of fun that these were in the first box of children's books I opened in *February*.

(Most are signed by the illustrator.)
A group of children's picture books, including "Happy to be Nappy" by bell hooks, "Dark Day, Light Night" by Jan Carr, "The Wagon" by Tony Johnston, "Sweet Clara and the Freedom Quilt" by Deborah Hopkinson, "The Creation" by James Weldon Johnson, "Bimmi Finds a Cat" by Elisabeth J. Stewart, "Building a New Land" by James Haskins, and "Uncle Jed's Barbershop" by Margaree King Mitchell, all of which have Black characters on the front covers and many of which are about Black American history.

February #kidlitartpostcard ❤️

Brr... it's a frozen world outside.
Inside, choose love, today...and every day.
Put it on and wear it until winter melts.

I am open to commissions that keep us all warm 🧣❤️

An illustration by Angela Matteson of a park scene with a dala horse mom sitting on a bench next to a knitting owl watching her youngest boy ride off on his scooter while big sister is looking up at Mom saying, "Ma! mama! ma! Ma!", and another dala sister is walking on wood logs. A bird couple and a squirrel are on the path.

Today would be Russell Hoban's 101st birthday. A great novelist, a great children's author, and a great picture book writer – and always completely and utterly unique. One of my favourites.

Two little girls walking through the snow by an abandoned shed and discarded junk. The african american girl is holding a puppy wrapped in a blanket and the caucasion girl is holding a gray cat wrapped in a blanket. They have rescued both animals from the abandoned shed. The illustration honors people and rescue organizations that are committed to saving unwanted and abandoned animals.

It's #kidlitpostcard day!

#Illustration is not just a job or a hobby to me. It's my life's mission, my passion. If I never had to work a day in my life, I would still be illustrating #childrensbooks. That's how much I love it!
