Pub Day ALERT🚨!!

Two amazing new pictures booms written by poet and educator and illustrated by are out today!!!

i’ve had these glorious books in my possession for a couple of days and have been thoroughly enjoying reading and being absorbed in the beautiful lyrical poetry of each book.

Black Girl, Bloom Bright and Black Boy, Take Flight belong on every bookshelf, classroom rack, library display and book basket in your home.

They are joyous, uplifting, and resonated me so much at a deep cultural level. I hope you’ll consider these for your next picture book addition to your own personal library and take swipe through just a peek at some of the phenomenal illustrations in each of them.

you want to read them over and over again to keep getting drawn into the pages, the visuals and the message.

Thanks for sharing these! They are going to be well used and reread many times!
