I got a lot of valuable information from the Editor’s session, at today’s SCBWI conference. I also created an enthusiastic collage companion to watch the conference with me.

My #redrawingblackhistory class, with @TamishaAnthony & @lillarogers is a great way to start 2022. Meet Edmonia “Wildfire” Lewis, the first sculptor of African American & Native American descent to achieve international recognition. #scbwi @artthatsells #kidlitart #blackhistory

@Handsome_Frank @adriamgoetz This is my favorite illustration right now. I loved playing around with the composition and colors in this one. 💕

#FolkTaleWeek2021 The second prompt for Folktale Week is #dream
I chose to illustrate a fall scene of Rip Van Winkle, snoozing deep in the forest, among the curious forest animals.

@kidlitart I have a few different organizers in my workspace, and love the ones that allow me to grab what I need without having to open a drawer. 💜💙💚 #kidlitart

@kidlitart I can’t wait to see everyone’s studio!

My fourth grade students have been learning about rock formations, so my team dressed like “rock” stars for our Halloween party today. 💚

The trouble with trouble is that it starts out as fun. Watch out Principal Bentley, your teachers are out of control and are racing down the hall in their rolling chairs. Will they dodge trouble....or not? #pbpitch

Mixed by @arreechung was the perfect book to pair with my 4th grade classroom community activity today. My students thought it was also cool that some of my online art lessons @StorytellerAdmy are taught by Aree.

@Taramichener Congratulations!

@CEDavidsBooks The conference is great so far! I have taken a lot of notes, and am enjoying learning more about the industry. Are you in Texas or Michigan now?

[Angie Ritenour @NinjaFoo]
