The Great KidLit Showcase and an update on my second children’s book

A belated thank you to author and tireless promoter of Children’s literature Don Bosco for including me in his Great KidLit Showcase.

Speaking of KidLit, I have finished writing the text for my next illustrated children’s book, The Ocean Above Her. I am now in the process of finalizing the artwork before looking for a publisher. Here’s a sample illustration from Christian Oliver Cruz. This work was done with coffee stains, watercolour wash and ink.
