Sample cover for another picture book I’m writing. Would you grab this off the shelf? 🤔⁉️

Hello! I’m Helen (Eleni to my family and childhood friends). I’m an illustrator, writer, and former teacher living in Northern Virginia.

Originally from NYC, I grew up in Astoria, Queens, and have lived in 5 different states since then. I left teaching a few years ago and am currently on a journey to become a picture book author and illustrator. Even the pursuit of this goal makes me incredibly happy and fills me with joy.

Some other things that make me happy are my husband, son, two dogs, morning coffee, watching the rain, sushi and Thai food, spending time with friends, finding a good mystery or thriller to watch or read, walking on the beach, and picture books.
I combined a #fridaydoodleclub prompt…motivating 2022 self-portrait with a #meettheartist prompt because I love those!

Elephant tears not crocodile tears. This clumsy little elephant spends more time getting patched up than she does scootering. Keep going, little elephant. It gets easier.

Finally had a bit of time for a @fridaydoodleclub prompt. #accidentprone #scooting #elephant.

We all feel like this little one at times. I have more times than I can count. Trick is to get back up even when the task seems impossible.

Thanks for the weekly inspiration!
