Support American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression by bidding on art from Children's Illustrators

This yearly auction is hosted by the American Booksellers Foundation for Free Expression (ABFFE) to help support the free speech right for children and ending literary censorship.

The beautiful work of  Nathalie Ragondet. Here is a link to her full post for her illustrated work of Grigrigredinmenufretin.

A group of children's illustrators inspired by a warm up exercise.

One of the greatest things I have found in children's illustration is support from the other illustrators and writers that create art for children. It is fully proven by this blog post. 

With moving, projects, and other responsibilities, Picture This is going to take a brief hiatus. 

We should be back up in July with new posts and more regular posting. 

Happy Children's Book Week!

Check out this beautiful poster by David Weisner you can get to celebrate!
