#kidlitartpostcard from Before the Seed, the picture book I co-illustrated with @ginatriplett.bsky.social with MITKids and Candlewick.

I ❤️ meeting animals within the parameters of their own reality, a la Watership Down, leaning into empathetic connection while respecting their inherent nature.

#kidlitartpostcard from Before the Seed, the picture book I co-illustrated with @ginatriplett.bsky.social and published with MITKids and Candlewick in the US and Walker Books abroad.

I illustrate flora, fauna, gardens, woods, beaches, mountains, and the rest of the science-y, nature-y stuff.

Headed up to NY for the American Illustration party. Seems like a good time to share this video of me making one of the paintings that’ll be there✌🏽.
