- Reposted by Ginger Ngo | Illustrator 🤡It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9
- I've made a 2025 round-up post on my Substack. Was it too early? Oh, who cares? gingerngo.substack.com/p/2025-round...
- Sometimes I need to remind myself that it's okay to keep things low pressure. This morning I sat down with my sketchbook and watercolours and made some mini characters. Then I breathed a small sigh of relief. #kidlitart #sketchbook

- I remember my grandfather "testing" my Chinese by asking me what I had for dinner when I was a kid. I couldn't answer properly and everyone laughed at my terrible Chinese. My mom looked kind of embarrassed. gingerngo.com/dinnertime-w... #kidlitart #kidlit #childhoodillustrated

- Sketchbook studies with one of my favourite painters ever, Filipino national artist Fernando Amorsolo. I was able to finally pick up a book of his works when I was back in Manila last month. #sketchbook 🇵🇭
- Play as research? That's an important part of being an illustrator, no? I am having some fun drawing and painting studies based on the amazing stuff I saw at the Vietnam Fine Arts Museum I visited Hanoi last month. It was so wonderful! #sketchbook #kidlitart

- Dopey pigeons always looking at you with THOSE EYES 👀 Been feeling a bit creatively blocked/sour lately. Thank goodness for these incredibly accurate nature drawings I've been doing to fill my sketchbook. #sketchbook #kidlitart
- Yup, it is most definitely "colourwork sweaters and hot chocolate while waiting for the bus" weather. #kidlitart
- Reworking an old sketch with a more loose hand. How is your Friday going? #sketchbook #kidlitart

- A cool, calm, serene thanks to Christina Barber for her review of EMERSON on The Miramichi Reader! #kidlitart #bcbooks #canadiankidsbooks miramichireader.ca/2025/09/emer...
- Just a funny idea for an imagined book cover. 😂 Maybe a middle grade book in the future? I remember my grandpa had a mini shark at some point! Or maybe I was dreaming and it was just a really big fish... #kidlitart
- I heard from some little birdy that today is NATIONAL GRANDPARENTS DAY 💕 Thought I'd share these funny idea sketches I had for a story I've been working on for a while. #kidlitart #sketchbook #kidlit
- I am kind of a local news nut, so this is a dee-light to see! Mr. Keith Baldrey's bookshelf is the ultimate BC author's easter egg!!! ❤️ This man has made it a mission to support BC books even as he talks about federal funding for EV infrastructure. He is so cool. #kidlit #kidlitart #bcbooks
- Lots of new friends I've made have asked me how to pronounce my last name. What a thoughtful question! My last name is a common word in Asia, particularly from Vietnam. Most English speakers have trouble, but that's okay. Also, do you know who Barbara Walters and Arnold Palmer are? 😰 #kidlit
- What a great Saturday! We had storytime w our pals at Kinder Books in New West, BC. They were all so excited to learn that Emerson is real! Photo credit ❤️ Anne! Thanks for having us! Let's support our local bookshops--they are such an important part of our communities! kinderbooks.ca #kidlitart
- I did not anticipate how much I would LOVE my new little friends sending me back some Emerson postcards. "I ate [too] much [salmon] rolls." 😍 Me too, girl. Me too. www.indiebookstores.ca/book/9781998... #kidlitart #bcbooks #readbc #kidlit
- Oh goodness. Emerson and I were featured on the cover of @bcbooklook.bsky.social bcbooklook.com/victorias-se... How fashionable! Thank you! ❤️ #kidlit #kidlitart #bcbooks
- HOLY COW! Looks like Emerson's gotten the SEAL OF APPROVAL! We're No 4 on this week's BC Bestsellers according to @readlocalbc.bsky.social on our release week! Thanks everyone! #kidlitart #kidlit #readlocalbc @picturebookseh.bsky.social
- 🎉 Today is publication day for EMERSON THE ELEPHANT SEAL! I'm so excited to share my boyfriend with you. He is over 500 lbs, so there is plenty of Emerson to go around! Now available widely across Canadian bookshops! www.indiebookstores.ca/book/9781998... #kidlit #kidlitart #canadiankidlit

- Some special folks have said some lovely things about Emerson lately. I was nervous about making this book, but friends like Eloise and Mr. Lucky Budd made it feel less scary to show everyone else! Thank you! ❤️ #kidlitart #kidlit
