KID LIT ART SURPRISE
Children's Book Illustrators and Authors Supporting Indie Bookstores
#kidlitartsurprise
WHO WE ARE
Started by children's book illustrators Elisha Cooper and Ruth Chan, Kid Lit Art Surprise is a project born out of COVID times. Elisha and Ruth wanted to find a way to help support the many independent bookstores going through a challenging time.
​
The project is simple: Children's book authors/illustrators offer to send artwork/notes to independent bookstores across the nation as a little token of support. The bookstores are welcome to use these however they want-- to stick into book orders as surprises, to use them as incentive for book sales, etc.
