Soo chuffed! I did a reading in their class last year & these 2 kids brought their parents and asked them to buy my books. They are both in my daughters class and I am extra chuffed that they loved my books so much that even though they have them inntheir classroom, they wanted to add my books to their collection at home.
I remember 6 little girl gave me a big hug after my reading and again today, here she was huging my books and hugging me. There is no better validation than a kid selling your books to their parents.
Some people have asked me, how do white kids connect with your books? My answer is simple.. They love them. They love the illustrations and the stories. They don't have to look like my characters to connect with my books.
They, too, love the affirmations, the characters, and the stories.
I am looking forward to more author visits this fall.
If you are an educator or a parent, I am available for in person and virtual author visits. Please reach out, I love coming to schools , reading, speaking, and doing a fun activity with the kids.
There is no better opportunity to reach more kids and have a broader impact than in schools/ classrooms.
