Battle doomscrolling by posting 5 small pleasures in life:

1. Cat who was a jerk all day but is suddenly sweet right before bedtime
2. Getting home just as the thunderstorm begins
3. Good songs coming up few in a row on shuffle
4. A cup of tea and a sweet homemade treat
5. Comfort re-reads

Happy September #kidlitartpostcard day! So begins the season of moody skies & mysteries, initiated here by whispering barn owls.

It’s no secret that I seek agent, editor, AD connections & PB, chapter book & MG projects. I’m also pitching a PB dummy with nocturnal animals soon!

Children’s book illustration by Sadee Schilling in charcoal and graphite depicting two adorable barn owls sharing a secret. One holds up a wing to shield his whispers while the other tucks a pink gift wrapped with orange ribbon behind his back. They perch on a clothesline festively striped in gold against a moody violet sky.
