Today I’m sharing a behind-the-scenes sneak peek into designing the main character of One Little Squiggle! For our main character, Jodi (the author) envisioned a quirky, artsy, curious 7- or 8-year-old girl who draws her way through a world she’s constantly creating in her imagination. #kidlitart

Yay! 🎉 One Little Squiggle written by Jodi Adams and illustrated by me is out wherever books are sold! 🖍️ This picture book turns one little squiggle into an imaginative adventure through a vibrant land where you can meet a unicorn, a dragon, a mermaid and… a waddle of penguins! #bookbirthday

A little fish is having a rough day today and had to stop by the vet to get patched up. Nurse Clawrence is always at the ready with supplies and a helpful claw. Hopefully, our patient gets all clear soon and gets to enjoy beautiful May weather! 🌼 #mermay2025 #mermay #mermaid #kidlitart #digitalart
