Recently the wildly talented @ladyfawn and I got together to update my studio headshots (and take some fun extras.) Here are some of my favorites! Scroll all the way to get a glimpse of my special interest 👀

Feeling nostalgic for my favorite toys.
My first taste of gambling as a millennial child was giving my Kitty Surprise a c-Section to see how many kittens were inside…
WHY WAS IT ALWAYS THREE 😩

Woohoo! This is Not a Small Voice won the @theweekjunior Book Award in poetry! So proud of all the hard work that went into this book with @tracintodd and @nosycrow, and honored to have been a part of the project. I hope it finds its way into the hands of even more kids with these accolades 💕

Today’s the day! So much love, passion and human creativity went into creating Day Shift, Night Shift. As an added bonus, now I can draw trains like nobody’s business. 🚂
Pick up a copy from your nearest local bookstore, or wherever books are sold!
———
A young girl uses her wits, science, and a little inspiration from her train engineer grandfather to get her toy train to run in this endearing picture book.
“Well, good morning to you,” Pop Pop says.
“And good night to you!” Atticus says.
Each morning when the clock strikes six and the front door rattles, Atticus runs to greet her grandpa on his way in from work. Pop Pop’s tools go clank clank clank all through the night, so trains can chug chug chug and choo choo choo all through the day. He’s a railroad mechanic. And when Pop Pop ends his night shift, that’s when Atticus’s day shift starts.
She’s a train mechanic too. But when she can’t figure out how to get her toy train to climb a hill, can she and Pop Pop use their mechanic skills to get the problem licked and the train on its way?

Wore out my old fanny pack so painted an even cooler one! @angelusdirect sent me a bunch of paints to use (from an older project—this post isn’t sponsored I just like ‘em) and now I need to find more stuff to paint 👀

It's Maker Monday!
From freelance illustrator to published children's-book illustrator, Jade Orlando has a pretty exciting September. Her latest project, Day Shift, Night Shift, hits bookshelves September 22, and we couldn't be more excited to see one of our Indie Craft Experience makers adding a new picture book to her already impressive portfolio.
PS: She also designed our 20th anniversary tote bag and will be back at our Winter Experience this December.

Remembering Gloria Steinem today and her incredible work in feminist journalism. I had the honor of featuring her in an upcoming book (which I will name drop soon!) and learned so much about her work in the process.
“We are the women our parents warned us against, and we are proud.”
