A spread of a half-t-rex, half-monster-truck on a parade float in the evening surrounded by all his friends. There are two little candy birds holding a banner that says "We love you, Truckosaurus!" There are fireworks in the sky and confetti everywhere.

Happy #kidlitartpostcard day! This is a spread I illustrated from Truckosaurus, which came out earlier this week. Written by Karen Shapiro, art directed by John Aardema, editor Kerry Finnamore.

One of my favorite stories as a little girl was “The Bremen Town Musicians.” A fairy tale about a rag tag group of animals who run away to start a band.

Illustration of four stylized axolotls playing underwater. One rests gently on the bottom looking at a cute orange copopod. One has a dancing vibe. One is showing the dancing friend a cool plant. One is nuzzling another copopod. The water is green, loose moss floats about. The axolotls are various shades of pink and yellowy beige with bright pink and orange gills. Art by Gina Perry

A crab looks around obviously lost. He's playing a trumpet in the ocean, alone. The text reads "Crab wasn't lost."

Illustration of a child sitting, wearing a balaclava with antennae in a sandbox, smiling and shedding a single tear, holding a waving ant. There is a row of ants walking towards a sand castle and entering it. There are kids on a swing and a slide in the background.

Images from a PDG created as an emergency contact card in case of ICE abduction.

One of the things that has especially bothered me about the ICE raids is that often folks are taken with no way to contact their loved ones to let them know what happened. One of the most helpful things you can do as a legal upstander is get this info - but these abductions are chaotic at best.

Liam himself is five goddamned years old and should be at home with an adult he trusts right now no matter who his parents are. It would not matter if they were literal criminal masterminds, Liam Ramos is a baby and babies do not belong in prison.

Vigils were held across the state to remember Alex Pretti after he was fatally shot by a federal agent Saturday in Minneapolis. Many also gathered to protest increased federal immigration enforcement happening in Minnesota.

I've seen suggestions to have cards with contact info to drop if taken. I've created a free printable template to make this a bit easier and visually urgent. You can fold either design in half to create a double-sided card, or use the design w/out the whistle to fill the back with helpful info.

I think what's worse is that it goes well-beyond (and in a way, also falls short) of a military occupation -- this isn't occupation, it's a hot war featuring a secret police militia nightmare roving and roaming and terrorizing the populace. This is brownshirts shit. ICE is a sanctioned terror gang.

I just think it's wild that the armed professionals who wander our streets are allowed to act in fear, but the untrained normal citizens are supposed to know exactly what to do under terrifying circumstances or die
