These books are really fun. My kid is finally brave enough to face The Clackity, so we’ll be rereading the first two books together. :) Looking forward to reading The Loneliest Place.

Justin has helped me with all of these things. I gained applicable skills that helped me improve my entire body of work, and it changed the trajectory of my career. Five stars :)

Applications open tomorrow! #pbrisingstars
Of course I have to share this oldie! It’s pi day! #kidlitart #illustrator
If you’re applying for a mentorship, this event is so helpful for finding your perfect match!
I’m on here less and less, and I’m experiencing more and more attempts to hack my account. Maybe my inactivity screams low hanging fruit? Kick rocks, hackers! Here’s a work in progress.
This month’s prompt for #SCBWIdrawthis is Peach Fuzz (the Pantone Color of the Year). To me, it feels quiet and hopeful, so I tried to capture that in this illustration. #kidlitart
*New* on my blog: I'm honored to host official #PBRisingStars Mentors Announcement w/ guest post from @ebonylynnmudd @KaileiPew: debbieohi.com/2024/02/pb-ris… 3mo picture bk mentorship program pairs authors & illus w/experienced mentors for one-on-one development!
I adored this collection of interviews from yesterday’s PW children’s bookshelf newsletter. Authors and illustrators recall memorable questions from young readers. #WritingCommunity publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/ch…
I absentmindedly dig my thumb into my sore shoulder-arm-wrist… “Are you an athlete?” they ask. No. I’m an artist with zero ergonomic awareness.
SCBWI Western WA has an exhibit at the Seattle Convention Center until July. We checked it out yesterday…so much wonderful art to take in! This is the first time I’ve ever had my art displayed for the physical public. It was pretty exciting to see my kids get excited about it.
Check out this fabulous cover for Impossible Possums! Hats off to @JustinRColon and @JamesReySanche1 👏👏 The possum energy is undeniable.

I stopped posting my art here because it feels redundant (heyyy IG friends), but I don’t have much to talk about lately, so here’s an illo of two kids figuring it out. #kidlitart
I just asked my daughter which picture book she would want to live in, and she said, “OH NO, THE AUNTS ARE HERE”. Interesting choice. Is it the quilt museum? The room with bunk beds? It’s definitely not the wolf…oh. Of course. The horses. It’s for sure the horses. 🐴 ♥️
My debut picture book (illustrated by Pablo Pino, @SimonKIDS) publishes July 16th & is now 25% off for Barnes & Noble Rewards Members & 35% off for Premium Members now through Jan 26. If you order, let me know & I'll add you send you swag pre-release. Pre-order link's below.
💫 The 2024 #PBRisingStars Mentee Information is LIVE on our website, AND it’s time to officially kick off YEAR 3 with a super fun event! Our 2nd annual Ice Cream Social is all about fun BUT we will share our best app tips AND do a Q&A! Register here! pbrisingstars.com/mentees
Nice read for a Friday. Indie bookstore success in the west ♥️ In the Western U.S., Holiday Sales Ended 2023 on an Up Note publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/in… via @PublishersWkly
Well, now it’s gone too far. 🤖 Happy #portfolioday ! I’m open for projects. Contact @christiemegill at The CAT agency. #ai #robots #basketball #kidlit #kidlitart #illustration #portfolioday
If you’re looking for a way to give back to the #kidlit community, consider becoming a mentor with #pbrisingstars . It’s an incredible program. I can say from personal experience as a mentee that it had a profound impact & I’m forever grateful. Apps close soon!
What do we think the shelf life is, of my family’s patience with me disappearing for chunks of time, only to pop out of nowhere and pitch books at them?

@JessicaGoecke The rhyme was unplanned . . . I was in the shower one morning, where all great ideas are born, and the words began to flow. 😆 Thanks, Jessica!
Don't have it in me to make a pretty graphic. B&N preorder sale happening. LONELIEST PLACE hc and NIGHTHOUSE KEEPER pb qualify. Maybe the boxed set? I don't know. All out 9/17/24. Lots of people have amazing books coming this year. Preorders are important. You know the drill. 🖤
I'm thrilled to share @JustinRColon has written a hilarious new #PB, THE ZOMBEES, illustrated by the wonderful @kalyquarles, and edited by the lovely @kendralevin, @SimonKIDS! Mean + green, these zombies are like none you've seen before. Bzzz! 🐝 +🧟= Crowd-pleasing readaloud!
I loved participating in #50PreciousWords for the first time this year. An honorable mention for my story, MORE THAN ONE WAY TO WHISTLE, was an extra nice cherry on top! Thank you to @viviankirkfield and judges!
What would a deal announcement for a horror-comedy picture book be without a cheesy horror poster to announce it? Opening lines in thread below.
As a beekeeper, horror lover, & author, this was inevitable . . . Honored to team up w/ fellow @abla/@marchsoloway client, @kalyquarles & bring these undead bees to life in in this Colón/Quarles creature feature. *Sound on 🧵Some fun openings lines, images, and thanks below.
So resigning from my teaching job wasn’t part of my promo plan, and yet here we are. School visits, bookstores, and festivals here I come! Don’t worry teaching, I’ll be back .
Word on the street is my next picture book deal announcement might be dropping this week.
As a children's author of comedy, sometimes you gotta put the ego aside and do it for the kids.
@JessicaGoecke I couldn’t agree more with you Jessica, Justin is amazing
Need help w/ a manuscript, query letter, pitch, comp titles? I can help! My 1st 2 picture books sold in a 2-book deal to a Big 5. My next 2 sold in another 2-book deal. My 5th sold at auction. I've helped nearly 100 editorial clients now. Learn more at kidlithive.com/editorial-serv…
I have 5 picture books all in various stages of publication. I'm waiting on updates for each 1. While I'm grateful to be in this position, I'm also working to embrace the process & find ways to continue the momentum while recharging bc the "waiting" never stops unless we stop.
The person making this cake asked my family, "Is this for a book?". Now, I can share . . . it is! (they still have a few years to spell the title correctly) @janine_omalley @lunartcy19 @marchsoloway
I apologize to all whose children will want vampire kittens in 2026. Because this feline is going to sink her fangs into their hearts. (It's not her fault she can fly & summon an army of spiders) Honored to team up with @lunartcy19 & @janine_omalley on this spooky, lyrical tale.
