This is a busy scene at the counter of the Department of Witch Brooms. A cute little witch stands first in line with her grandma to apply for her very first broom license!

The hype wore off very quickly for me. I just couldn't/can't invest in another platform I don't own.

My haunted house puzzle with the lovely team at eeBoo is finally out! I adore a dollhouse section, and I was extra thrilled to work on this project! 🧩 The box is also oh-so-adorable—stay tuned for many more photos!

Grab your visors! @tashahilderman.bsky.social and I are on the green! Just pay attention to art and not my record-setting high score! ⛳️

I'm so psyched for this charmer and all the kitschy putt putt props!

And golf clap for the lovely team at @randomhousekids.bsky.social

Publisher's announcement with putt putt golf illustrations in background. Text reads: Heidi Kilgras at Random House has acquired world rights to Mini-Golf Fun!, an early reader by Tasha Hilderman (l.), illustrated by Kaly Quarles, in which a young mini-golfer putts their way through an elaborate course of windmills, mole hills, and waterfalls to an ice cream celebration. Publication is planned for summer 2026; Rachel Orr at Prospect Agency represented the author, and Jennifer March Soloway at Andrea Brown Literary Agency represented the illustrator.

Happy Book Birthday to THE ZOMBEES, written by @justincolonbooks.bsky.social, illustrated by @kalyquarles.bsky.social--a picture book dream team!

Don't miss this funny, adorable picture book with a fun unexpected twist and lots of heart at a bookstore near you!

Congratulations, Justin and Kaly!
The book cover for THE ZOMBEES, written by Justin Colón, and illustrated by Kaly Quarles. The title is in large white hand-drawn letters in a serifed font on a black background with tiny green bees flying up and around the title lettering with a green spine. It's super cute!
