If you want to add #diversifymyart to the art you're making in March, this month's theme is Diversity of Hair! Go out of your comfort zone and spice up the variety of hairstyles you represent in your art. #kidlitart

Thanks, Larissa, I just used your reminder and drew a hearing aid for a character. πŸ€— #kidlitart

A reluctant child But I lift my voice and sing Then she sings along #haikusaturday in honor of a sweet moment I had with my daughter this week

I thought I'd share one of my pieces for #DiversifyMyArt with the theme of increasing representation of vision differences.

For anyone who wants to consider adding #diversifymyart to the art you're making in February, the theme is "Sight and Sound", increasing representation of people with vision or hearing differences. #kidlitart

I always try to think about how the #diversifymyart prompts can apply to animals. This month is "diversity of skin". We illustrators sometimes default to white versions of animals but why not brown or black or spotted? Are you being intentional about your color choice for your animal characters?

Orange is named all the time as being a word without rhyme. But haven't you heard the non-rhyming words like: music, arugula, oink? #limericksunday
