Happy #KidLitArtPostcard Day! Today's post is based on a true story! Not the dinosaur, but the appearance of a European Cuckoo bird in New Hampshire this past autumn. I'm open for new book projects mid-year. Rep'd by Sean McCarthy. www.ginaperry.com #kidlit
Illustration of a fall orchard. A young girl is climbing an apple ladder and notices a very large dinosaur hiding in the half-bare tree. Her mom is nearby taking a video with her phone, distracted by a rare european cuckoo bird in another tree. The young girl is saying "Mom..." A bag of apples is on the ground.

Art of a young East asian girl wearing a yellow outfit and holding a red ribbon. She rides a red horse with flames for its mane and tail. A similar looking foal runs in the foreground. 5 other horses run in the background. The fire horses symbolize the year of the Fire Horse in the Chinese astrological calendar.

All I can say is personally I think it is no coincidence that my work seems to have slowed down as this has ramped up.

On top of the loss of income, there's also the price of living with grief that other creators don't have to, because they're not 'troublesome' to society.

After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.

Illustration by Gina Perry. Three young kids are shouting Tape!, Paper!, Cardboard! while looking fierce decked out in handmade costumes. Lots of mess surrounds them and the center character is standing on a box.
