I have a new book out! This one is titled Sybil’s Magic Muffins written by Sara Holst. It’s about a little girl who cooks her emotions into her recipes. This was a lot of fun because I got to illustrate food as well as a ton of different emotions. #kidlit #kidlitart #kidsbooks #picturebooks

Happy new year 2026! I don’t do resolutions, I just pick a word each year - this year I choose ✨renewal✨

So, here is my Dharma Dog embracing her calm and aiming high with her monarch butterfly friend. The monarch is a symbol of rebirth, transformation and renewal. #watercolor #bassethound #monarch

Kidlit character art by picture book illustrator Zoe Ranucci. Artwork of concept sketches and final character. @zoeranucci

The two books I’m currently working on are very character driven so I figured I’d share a little character sheet from a past book, Bernadette. I love working with authors and helping to bring their characters come to life!

I saw this prompt to illustrate a quote by Lilla Rogers for the quarterly @makeartthatsells.bsky.social challenge and was inspired to give it a go. I had so much fun with us! 🥰

Digital colored pencil illustration created by picture book artist Zoe Ranucci. Illustration of Elephant Hawk moth and caterpillar with honeysuckle plants.

Exploring ways to look less 'commercial' as this is the most repeated input I get from portfolio reviews. I wondered if I could bring my style and love of colored pencil to the tablet... would take forever to do a kid book this way, but I sure enjoyed working on this! #kidlitart #illustration

Cover and interior art from educational vocabulary activity book written by Dr. Kimberly P. Johnson and illustrated and designed by Zoe Ranucci

I just completed another project with the fabulous Dr. Kimberly P. Johnson! An educational workbook. Love the subtitle, Four Letter Words My teacher Lets Me Say!

I illustrated black and white line art and color cover, as well as all graphic design. #kidlit #educational #illustration #kidlitart

Personal artwork created by illustrator Zoe Ranucci of a little girl and her dog flying over the moon in a cardboard space ship making friends with the stars.

Hope everyone has a lovely long weekend! Here is a new personal piece, it is a redraw of an older illustration. Playing around with more textures - baby steps but getting there!

It’s so hard to keep up with social posting when you’re deep in projects and deadlines. But here’s another little peek at the book I’m currently working on and will be wrapping up in the next couple weeks. 💖
