Today is pub day for Prayer Is!! When my agent Alex originally sent me the manuscript, I was already excited because I enjoyed working with @tamekafryerbrown.bsky.social and the FSG BYR/ @mackidsbooks.bsky.social team (Joy, Naomi, Mina and Hannah) on All the Greatness in You! #kidlitart

If this is hard for someone to understand, I recommend @tamekafryerbrown.bsky.social’s great book that succinctly explains this

Team GREATNESS is back with a new and timely book for our kids called PRAYER IS. It's written by me, beautifully illustrated by @alleannaharris.bsky.social, and lovingly published by @mackidsbooks.bsky.social. Available for pre-order. 💛🙏🏾💜

Good morning. Listen, you have to just decide. They are not taking the Black Smithsonian. Resolve it in your spirit.

"I have fought and will continue to fight unceasingly for the rights and privileges of all people who are oppressed & who are denied their just share of [what] their labor produces. " #tdih 1952, Charlotta Bass accepts VP nomination for Progressive Party 🧵 www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/ch...

Thank you @zinnedproject.bsky.social for recommending THAT FLAG as a book to teach truth to young readers during these troubling and regressive times.

What to watch this weekend? In light of the admin's EO to erase the truth about U.S. history in museums, historic sites, monuments, & the zoo -- we recommend "The Neutral Ground" by C. J. Hunt on the fight over Confederate monuments & the Lost Cause narrative. www.zinnedproject.org/materials/th...

As reading lists circulate for adults about times we are in, here are some suggestions for early childhood/early elementary. Starting with "That Flag" by @tamekafryerbrown.bsky.social -- picture book introduces the Lost Cause narrative in history and today. www.zinnedproject.org/materials/th...

Thank you, @zinnedproject.bsky.social, for the book recommendation! 🙏🏾💙

"Grimes’ simple, lyrical text depicts a sweet, relationship-based mini-adventure with a victory both adults and children will appreciate. [Cathy Ann] Johnson’s whimsical illustrations... are as poetic as Grimes’ verse. Playful, soothing, and beautiful. (Picture book. 3-8)" Thanks, Kirkus!

I heard today is National #Shelfie Day. For no particular reason at all, my shelfie includes a copy of Little People, Big Dreams' Anne Frank & That Flag by @tamekafryerbrown.bsky.social. Also for no particular reason at all, my t-shirt reads "E Pluribus Unum, #ProtectTransKids."
