Was thrilling to draw concepts for production designer John Goldsmith @jpgsjpgs on Being Heumann. He built 1970s DC and San Francisco on a stage with immaculate vision and detail. Califano’s office was my favorite. Swipe for the gorgeous set and then the real Califano.

I am so excited to see this movie in the world, in theaters Nov 6! Proud of @sianheder.director and the cast and crew for pulling it off. Drawing the storyboards was dynamic and fun and really drove home the lack of representation in film and tv-it was the first time in 20 years storyboarding that I was drawing more than one wheelchair and in more than a couple shots, and in the LEADS…MULTIPLE LEADS. This film set literally built new infrastructure for accessible sets so let this be the first of more. Judy forever.

Well so many of you played and I can’t believe some of you WON, but I guess I shouldn’t be surprised that independent booksellers had the eagle eyes 👀 obviously you can’t win a tote after I give you these answers but maybe this will excite you enough to check one or more of these titles out of your local library. My favorite part of making the illustrations for Bernice to the Rescue were adding details and this spread was my favorite.

Oct 2nd is #nationalcustodianday but every day is a good day to thank a school hero. Hopefully Ms. Bernice to the Rescue by @chelsealinwallace can inspire some thank you cards…or two…or twenty. This weekend might be the best time to make them. Also is there a national You Gotta Be by Des’ree Day? There is now!

If you can guess 15 of the 16 real books I illustrated in Ms. Bernice to the Rescue written by @chelsealinwallace you can win a very classy tote from @taylornorm 👀 Head over to her page to submit your answers! (No one has gotten more than 15 but there is a very sneaky 16th which is the BACK of a book a love and if you guess that one you are not only insane but also deserve some bonus stickers)

Want to win one of these ~extremely~ limited edition NPB bags? Find 15* books @thyraheder hid in MS. BERNICE TO THE RESCUE’s library. DM me ALL 15 and the bag is yours!
*there is a 16th book featuring only its back cover. If you get that one too I will throw in some bonus stickers)

Can’t you smell it in the air? It’s back to school season!
🧹
Anyone who’s ever visited a school, attended a school, walked into a school, or watched a show about a school knows that no matter the size, no matter the age, every school campus has ONE person known for solving everything. Maria! Abbie! Santi! These helpers may have a title like custodian or a suffix like “of-all-trades” or they may have no official adjective at all, but every single kid and adult knows their name, because this is the person who actually holds the entire school together.
🧹
Well at Oak Tree Elementary, such a School Hero is Bernice. She has so many tasks on her to-do list every day, not to mention the dozens of mini-crises the kids and teachers rely on her to solve. Bird stuck in a library? Recess balls all on the roof? Hamster missing? Password glitch? No matter the issue, Bernice knows what to do. And thankfully at the end of this book, she gets her due, too.
🧹
This School Heroes series was dreamed up by Chelsea Lin Wallace, no surprise, a person whose superpower is shining a light on others—often others who are usually in charge of light-shining, not light-receiving. Chelsea is selfless, an extraordinarily gifted writer (natural, fluid rhyme that doesn’t make you stumble is some of the hardest writing there is!), and preternaturally skilled at loving kids for their very kid-ness, and reflecting them on the page.
🧹
Thyra Heder proved herself superheroic in bringing this school so thrillingly to life by imbuing it with the all-too-real details accessible only to someone who has passed School Visit University summa cum laude. Thyra also wins the Rube Goldberg Award for managing to visually organize all the many factors of this text so they’re easily legible and extremely exciting and highly functional. It is impossible to choose a favorite student in this book. It is, relatedly, very difficult to find someone who can draw kids as gloriously as Thyra can.
🧹
Bonus: This book will give your kids GREAT school prank ideas! Better get a copy to stay one step ahead . . .

WIP from Bernice to the Rescue written by @chelsealinwallace Markers were a fun break from watercolor. A little scary to figure out color on the fly sometimes but when you aren’t working on precious watercolor paper it feels so freeing to just start again. Last slide shows my marker nest.

Ms. Bernice to the Rescue written by @chelsealinwallace and illustrated by me hits the shelves Sept 8. Did you know National Custodial Day is Friday 10/2 ? A perfect book to inspire gratitude to all the workers that keep schools running. Here is the progression of the cover drawings, with the final slide being where I turn to when imagining how to illustrate hijinx- always an 80s movie poster!
