🌺 Made for More is a finalist in the West Division of the @scbwi Crystal Kite awards! If you're a SCBWI member the final round of voting is open until July 17th, and if you enjoyed Made for More, please consider voting for it 🥰 A heartfelt picture book inspired by my life, Made for More is a lyrical ode to identity, immigration, family, and culture. The story rejects harmful beauty narratives and celebrates skin, its color, freckles, scars, and moles. If you haven't already, please check out Made for More at your local library, favorite indie bookstore, or wherever you buy books 📚 Written by Chloe Ito Ward Illustrated by Gael Abary Published by Allida #SCBWI #Kidsbookstagram #kidlit by @gaelabary

Last week we had to say goodbye to our best boy, Storm, a racing greyhound who lost 26 races, retired early, and found his way into our home and our hearts. He was a stellar companion to me and Yvie (and Stella the cat). We love you, Stormy Stormson, thank you for loving us back. RIP @stormthegrey 03.14.14-05.23.25🤍 by @gaelabary
We're kicking off National AAPI/AANHPI/APIDA month with #Kidlit creators making great contributions to normalizing our cultures and identities so our children are proud of who they are and where they come from. We celebrate starting with MADE FOR MORE by @chloeitoward and illustrated by @gaelabary, published by @allidabooks, is a joyful exploration of immigration and nontraditional beauty that pays tribute to the unique identity formed by a girl’s Japanese roots and Hawaiian upbringing. A group of us have joined together once again for Asian American Native Hawaiian & Pacific Islander Heritage Month to share some of our favorite recent and upcoming kidlit books by fellow #AANHPI authors. Every day we'll post a different book. We hope you'll follow along, check out the books, and share them with others...not only this month, but all year long! #AANHPIHeritageMonth #AANHPIkidlit #AANHPIAuthors #KidsBooks #ChildrensBooks #community #booksbooksbooks #picturebook #colorism #MadeforMore #Japanese #newrelease #Librarians #Teachers #booktok #librariansofinstagram #teachersofinstagram #allidabooks #nadiasnook #nadiasnookreads Video: @Canva Music: @pixabay by @gaelabary
It is always exciting to witness all of the small and big changes made to initial picture book sketches as the project progresses into a fully rendered picture book ready for bookstore shelves! Enjoy this look into Gael Abary’s illustrative process for MADE FOR MORE, by Chloe Ito Ward. #harpercollins #allidabooks #weneeddiversebooks #picturebooks #kidlit #hawaii #kauai by @gaelabary
Swipe through to see the Gael Abary’s process for the cover creation of MADE FOR MORE, written by Chloe Ito Ward. The first picture is of the many brainstorming cover sketches Gael created until she landed on the perfect cover illustration for MADE FOR MORE. It was a joy to watch this cover art progress into its final form! #harpercollins #allidabooks #weneeddiversebooks #picturebooks #kidlit #hawaii #kauai by @gaelabary
