Last day of El Palo Encebado! Let’s get some food & watch my siblings bust all they asses! Today’s outfit is inspired by the flag of mourning. #elpaloencebado #greasypole #gressepole #puertoricangirl #puertorican #boricua #summergoth #darklipstick #blackandwhite (at Pucho Olivencia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0MnUkSh9Oa/?igshid=1rs9cvj48ffc8

Happy Saturday!!! My name is Javier Cruz Winnik and I am the #selfpublished author and illustrator of the #AReasontoSmileSeries! Today I'd love to share with you my 1st volume in the series. In this book, we meet #LuizaBrillante, a 10 year old #PuertoRicanGirl from New York City who loves to find the beauty in her city! . . . This scene helped me establish how I was going to draw people in my journey of making children's books. I wanted to make sure I made art that was reflective of the city and the people who live in it. This was my very first book, so I worked really hard to make it as good as I could. I wanted people to feel like this was a book was a book they'd find in any bookstore, their local library, or at their school. I also thought it'd be cool to see Luiza taking steps in which I would try to animate this later! . . . If you'd like to see a preview of the book, or purchase a copy of volume 1, please feel free to head to https://www.thecurv.com/shop/books/4 where you can find volume 1, volume 2, and the board book, Making Friends! . . . #AReasontoSmile #AReasontoSmileV1 #bookseries #childrensbookseries #childrensbooks #graphicnovelseries #graphicnovels #comicbookseries #comicbooks #comics #childrensbookart #puertoricanartist #puertoricanwriter #comicseries #kidlit #childrensliterature #puertoricancharacters #boriqua #boricua #elcoqui #reading #readersofinstagram #readyforsummer #children #childrensbookillustration #childrenof_instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CCgMMcchQOP/?igshid=n9k8y09qem4q
