Award-Winning Children's Book Author
I am excited to announce that I have two new picture books on the way: ALL THE GREATNESS IN YOU in 2024 and PRAYER IS in 2025! Both will be published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux (an imprint of Macmillan), and illustrated by the phenomenal Alleanna Harris!
Look out for the cover reveal for ALL THE GREATNESS IN YOU early next year!
The cat is finally out of the bag! I am excited to announce my upcoming book project with Millbrook Press…Shirley Chisholm: Not Done Yet. It will be illustrated by the incredibly talented Nina Crews.
This will be my first picture book biography; I’m already excited to share it with you. :))

I’m honored to announce that AROUND OUR WAY ON NEIGHBORS’ DAY has been designated an ACTION BOOK CLUB™ selection by LittleFreeLibrary.org®!
Any group of people (families, friends, classmates, organizations, existing book clubs) can sign up to participate in this wonderful, service-oriented endeavor. Per the website, the idea is as follows:
“In a new twist on the traditional book club, Little Free Library’s Action Book Club™ invites participants to read books on timely topics, engage in lively discussions, and take part in meaningful—and fun—group service projects to benefit their communities. This is reading and social engagement at its best.
After completing a service project, participants can share their experiences online with other Action Book Club members. Through trading stories, ideas, and successes, participants will contribute to a national conversation and inspire others to take action in their own neighborhoods.
The Action Book Club’s current theme is Good Neighbors, which celebrates the power of community, kindness, and taking action where you live.”

Needless to say, I am feeling excited, thankful and extremely blessed.
