@johnnymhay Aw, thanks, John! It’s definitely a blessing to be able to create books.

@KristiValiant Didn’t know you were so talented! Very cool. #LoveBooksToo

Happy Valentine’s Day from Indiana authors and illustrators!

🇧🇷 The Goodbye Cancer Garden in Portuguese, this post by a cancer support nonprofit in Brazil, @AbraceOficial. Pub’d by Todo Livro 💗 #cancerbooksforkids #booksthatheal @KristiValiant @AlbertWhitman

Today is my 14-yr cancer-versary! Celebrating the gift of life today, moments when peace and joy surpass circumstances, and the chance to have shared my #picturebook THE GOODBYE CANCER GARDEN with those who needed it (now out of print after 10 yrs, illus by @KristiValiant). 💗🙏

"Cora finally gets the chance to be Mama's assistant chef. And of all the delicious Filipino dishes that dance through Cora's head, she and Mama decide to make pancit, her favorite noodle dish." Author: @dorinagilmore Illustrator: @kristivaliant #kidlit #beinclusivema #filipino

My critique partner has a new picture book coming and it’s adorable!

The fashion in #Cruella! Wow. I finally watched it, and now I want to paint, paint, paint. #digitalart #fashion #fashionillustration #fashionart #illustration

@DorinaGilmore @proncis When I took reference photos to draw Cora, my model’s dog kept getting in the photos, so I added him to the book to echo Cora’s feeling of being left out (she from cooking, he from playing). His name is Chuee!

@proncis @KristiValiant , what do you think?! 😉

@DorinaGilmore Our kids love ‘Cora Cooks Pancit’, but they wanted to know the dog’s name, so I figure go to the source. Salamat po!

@read_2succeed @DorinaGilmore @SenHughesOffice @Readby4th @FreeLibrary @AAPIWomenLead Thanks for sharing our book!

Happy Monday! We hope you had a great weekend and found time for mindfulness! Our #bookoftheweek is one of our favorites: Cora Cooks Pancit. "@DorinaGilmore’s text delightfully captures the warmth between mother and daughter as they share a piece of their Filipino heritage.”

@KidLitStudio 😂

Hey @KristiValiant, thanks for the follow! I have now arrived :)

How better to celebrate the 10-yr anniversary of THE GOODBYE CANCER GARDEN, by me & @KristiValiant, than with the surprise arrival of the Turkish paperback edition AND my first strawberry crop! (also...12 yrs cancer free💘) #bcsm #PictureBooks #kidlit @AlbertWhitman
