@ElizPagelHogan I used Photoshop. It was one of the first illustrations I did entirely digitally, from the sketch up. Here was my original sketch trying to capture the dream and then the final.
In MG sci-fi, I love adventure and peril in space, like:
✨Dragon Pearl @deuceofgears (with an awesome dash of fantasy/myth)
✨Last Day on Mars @kcemerson
✨Earth Force Rising @MonicaTesler
#PitchWars wishlist
In MG contemporary, I love stories that explore immigrant and 2nd generation stories, like:
✨Pie in the Sky @Remy_Lai
✨Front Desk @kellyyanghk
✨American as Paneer Pie @supriyakelkar_

Happy book birthday to one of the most fun reads of the summer: CEMETERY BOYS by @aidenschmaiden (@SwoonReads)!
Come for the trans brujo trying to prove himself to his family and stay for the chaotic ghost he accidentally summons and falls in love with!
A4. Some MG books that create empathy/insight on immigration that I've loved include:
THEY CALLED US ENEMY (@GeorgeTakei @JustinEisinger Steven Scott, illus. @harmimimi)
FRONT DESK (@kellyyanghk)
PIE IN THE SKY (@Remy_Lai)

A3. I've found graphic novels to be a great way to tell a nonfiction story. For example, MARCH (John Lewis, @andrewaydin @Nate_Powell_Art) and THEY CALLED US ENEMY (@GeorgeTakei @JustinEisinger Steven Scott, illus. @harmimimi)
CEMETERY BOYS by @aidenschmaiden comes out Sept 1! You'll love this fantastic book about a trans boy who only wants to prove he's a brujo to his Latinx family but accidentally summons the ghost of a chaotic boy he falls for. @SwoonReads Pre-order campaign: https://t.co/CNSy8DB0Ul
