It’s the first Thursday of August and that means it’s #kidlitartpostcard day! Weeeee! I draw stuff that kids like. I know this to be true… a bunch of them told me. Art directors have been hiring me since 2006 and parents think my work is pretty neat. Let’s work together! #katiemcdeeart #katiemcdee

Ms. Cauliflower didn’t show up for this group picture because she refuses to accept her veggie nature (keeps insisting she’s a flower) and Mr. Broccoli doesn’t like to have his picture taken. What other veggie friends am I missing? 🍅🥕🧅🫑🥔
