We lost an incredible woman last week. Her mind and her voice have changed so many lives for the better. I especially enjoyed drawing this art. Thank you, Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
Here’s my latest promotional postcard art. Who doesn’t love a good cookie recipe, right?!
Come draw Max and Bart from the children’s book MAXIMILLIAN VILLAINOUS. Written by, Margaret Chiu Greanias and illustrated by, me, Lesley Breen Withrow. Published by Running Press Kids 2018.
So happy to see my art in this months HIGHLIGHTS HIGH FIVE magazine! (and this was especially fun for me to draw because I also design/make art for wrapping paper). 😄

Since so many people are at home and looking for fun and educational activities for their kids to do, I thought I’d share with you some activity pages I created for my children’s book, ‘You’re My Boo’ (Beach Lane Books/imprint of Simon & Schuster, Summer 2016) Stay well and enjoy!
Thinking of you Kate Pohl Dopirak

I would love to see my art on middle grade and YA book covers. So, here’s a piece I illustrated this summer for the classic book ‘Where the Red Fern Grows’. Was one of my favorite books as a kid! This postcard art was sent out to publishers as a summer mailing by my fabulous agents @the_cat_agency. For kicks, I decided to tape my postcard onto an existing book. Pretty fun to see!! @the_cat_agency

Hope you can have some fun in the sun this weekend!
My daughter and I got to see the storybook/game I illustrated for Peaceable Kingdom Press, called 'Sunny and Stormy Day!' on the shelves at our local Target. Such a thrill!!
I was so excited to receive my complimentary copies of the game I illustrated for the Peaceable Kingdom Press, called ‘Sunny and Stormy Day!’ It’s such a quality product and a wonderful game and storybook combo, teaching kids how to share their daily experiences and build their emotional intelligence skills. And it even won the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Award! It’s exclusively sold at Target. #peaceablekingdom #oppenheimtoyportfolio#game #childrensbooks #kidslitart #target #targetexclusive #illustration#illustratorslife
WHAT A THRILL!
Oh my goodness! My children's book, 'You're My Boo' (Beach Lane Books/imprint of Simon & Schuster) Sept 2016 written by: Kate Dopirak and illustrated by: (ME) Lesley Breen Withrow is in the October 2017 Scholastic Book Club - Honeybee (for preschoolers) flyer! This is a total dream come true for me. I absolutely loved the Scholastic Reading Flyers when I was a kid. I can still remember the excitement I felt when the teacher passed them out and the thrill I had when my books arrived. I am honored to have a book that I illustrated be included into the Scholastic Flyer family. ...and to think that I can make a child feel that thrill makes me so happy.
My Postcards are here!
Was fun to receive my latest postcard in the mail the other day. My agent is sending them out to lots of publishers. Yeti the fun begin!!
Happy One Year Anniversary to 'You're My Boo' - Beach Lane Books (an imprint of Simon & Schuster) September 2016. It was such a thrill to illustrate this book and I just love the trailer Kate and I had made for it... so I thought I's share it again. Enjoy!
Sunny and Stormy Day - Target Pick!
Sunny and Stormy Day! was a 'Target Pick'. So exciting.
I was thrilled to work with one of my all time favorites, Peaceable Kingdom, on this storybook game project called Sunny and Stormy Day. And much to my surprise it was selected to be a and exclusive at Target! Woo Hoo!!
A big box filled with the children's book I illustrated, called 'You're My Boo', recently arrived from Simon & Schuster! Such an exciting day... it's so fun to see your 'real' book. To feel the hardcover and binding and jacket and feel the turning of the pages. Love it! So, so exciting and a dream come true.
My daughter was just as thrilled to see them too. :-)
