I've shown you my teacher's cockpit before. Well, with the changing of the seasons, my corner has gotten very dark, which made it look like I was in a police line-up on Zoom and was straining my eyes. But there wasn't really room for a lamp, and I didn't want a spotlight shining on the top of my head anyhow. So, I went searching for a creative lighting solution and came up with this fabulous metal sign from Rustalgic. CLICK HERE to see more!
I loved the book, The Knife of Never Letting Go by Patrick Ness. It's now been turned into a movie called Chaos Walking. And the trailer is cool! Click the image to watch on Youtube.
I'm thrilled to announce the upcoming show for Netflix, Tiny Pretty Things, written by Sona Charaipotra and Dhonielle Clayton, my colleague at Hollins University! Click the image below to watch the trailer on YouTube.

Look what showed up at my door this week - it's my author copies of On Eagle Cove written by Jane Yolen and illustrated by Yours Truly for Cornell Lab Publishing Group. Wippee!! Since the eagle is the US national bird, I'd say the pre-election timing is pretty good for this one. If you click on the cover, it will take you to Bookshop.org, where you can purchase the book through your local independent bookseller, helping to keep them in business. You can also learn a little more about the book on my website: My Website Landing Page for OEC, including a peek at the pencil dummy.
Sterling Children's Books turned The 12 Days of Christmas in Georgia, written by Susan Rosson Spain and illustrated by Yours Truly, into a wee Board Book!!! There's one for each state, so look for yours! (Click the cover to learn more about the Georgia version.)

Did you know that I'm happy for librarians and teachers (and booksellers) to use my images to decorate their spaces or use on free handouts? All I ever ask in return is that you please "check out" my books to see if any might be a good fit with your readers. And I love it when you share your creations with me to add to my blog!
If you still have any questions about usage of my images, visit my angel policy page or email me at elizabeth at dulemba dot com.
My images are available on items in MY REDBUBBLE STORE and my MY ZAZZLE STORE. This is how I add my voice.
One of the reasons I create my coloring pages is to draw (ha!) attention to my books. Word of mouth is my best advertising, so I'm counting on you to help spread the word! Click the covers to learn more.
I create my coloring pages for teachers, librarians, booksellers, and parents to enjoy for free with their children, but you can also purchase rights to an image for commercial use, please contact me. Meanwhile, if you have questions about usage, please visit my Angel Policy page.
