I just realized that POLLY DIAMOND AND THE SUPER STUNNING SPECTACULAR SCHOOL FAIR came out a year ago! I loved illustrating this book. Polly is such a fun character, and I worked with a lovely team (shoutout to: @alicekuiperswritingprompts @vmaryrock @saragillinghamstudio @bookmarkliterary and @chroniclekidsbooks!) ••• #chapterbooks #childrensbookswelove #dianatoledano #kidlitart #childrensbookart #childrensillustrator #kidlitilustration #kidlitartist #womenillustrators #friendsofillustration #illustrationartists #earlychapterbooks #pollydiamond https://www.instagram.com/p/B_5qsn7HgTg/?igshid=1qym5fqyr47wh

Working on a new style of Forsynthia book. Forsynthia is all about early elementary school shenanigans: making friends, challenges with getting along, problem solving, home life, and gratitude! Up to this point they have been easy readers— you can read through each book on RadishLane.com. This one is going to be a Branches style junior chapter book! It’s a WHOLE new can of worms, but so much fun to work on this new angle! Can’t wait to pitch this dummy when it’s ready 👍 #Forsynthia #BranchesBooks #EarlyChapterBooks⠀ ⠀ #InsideTheStudio #RadishLane #StudioRadish #painter #fineart #illustrator #buffalo #artist #racheldinunzio #newyorkartist #newyorkart #buffaloart #paintingoftheday #arttip #picturebookacademy #thebookcreatorpodcast #artcollector #originalart #portraitpainting https://www.instagram.com/p/BnpNYDcgzBW/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=t8ff1gvnntpp
