Additionally, Rowling tweeted a call for illustrations: The Ickabogwill be published with artwork, for which Rowling prompted children and parents at home to see what they can come up with. Each online chapter will provide illustration prompts to get started. While officially entries for the final edition will be judged by the publisher, Rowling encouraged those participating to share their work with the hashtag #theickabog online so she can at least see and engage with it.
