The second one is dressed as a ghost and he is smiling and amazed. The third one is dressed as Frankenstein, he is also scared.

From Just Dance! — Chapter 6: BFF graphic novel. This is one of the panels showing Ellen, the tween with pink hair, and our main character walking her dog Lulu with her new best friend, Cookie (Christopher SaMores), a cheerful, very tall and big boy. It is the golden hour in Autumn. If you wish to see the two page spread, please visit the Kid Lit Art section at milifay.art

Most of you already do this, but as an agent it's super helpful when illustrators put on their #kidlitartpostcard if they have an agent. I often go through the feed and like postcards from illustrators I want to see queries from. That way I can avoid accidentally trying to poach someone. #kidlitchat
