Me and My Books in the Ether:

Thank you, Parent Map for including STEALING THE SHOW on this list of the Best Kids Books About the Power of Community.

I had a fantastic time on BLACK AUTHORS MATTER TV — thank you so much to Gwen Richardson and Dr. Rhonda M. Lawson for having me!

A haunting trailer for the audiobook of YOU’RE BREAKING MY HEART — read by me (!!) and the phenomenal Channie Waites!

Amber O’Neal Johnston and her talented family always know how to engage with a book! Love the crochet companions to OPERATION SISTERHOOD: Stealing the Show! and I’m a huge fan of Amber’s latest book, SOUL SCHOOL

Much gratitude for this lovely review of OPERATION SISTERHOOD: Stealing the Show! over at Always in the Middle

Honoured to be in conversation about YOU’RE BREAKING MY HEART with Edi Campbell over at Pearl’s and Ruby’s on School Library Journal
