A friend found a copy of my first #middlegrade novel on display at a school library. It's been a minute since it was published, so this was gratifying, to say the least. Yeah, I'll be living off that for the rest of the year. #childlit #humor #sciencefiction #Booksky #Booksandwriting

a música robin da teilo como um livrinho infantil fictício 🥹🧡

#bookcoverdesign #childlit

uma interpretação da música "robin", da taylor swift, como um livro infantil fictício. o desenho é de um tigrinho laranja, em cima de um trampolim pequeno e com a borda rosa, e, ao fundo, uma paisagem com duas montanhas, um lago com três pedrinhas marrons e um gramado bem verde.
