Hi.

I hope 2024 is treating you well so far.

You'll see mostly Book Recommendations for Children from me.

In that spirit, I'm sharing books from my fellow KidLit Works creators. Most are available for pre-order. A Ramadan to Remember by Marzieh A. Ali and Illustrated by Najwa Awatiff is available Jan. 2.

Check out the videos below, BUT FIRST I have news about my debut picture book.

For me, my book BEFORE I LIVED HERE, illustrated by Victo Ngai, Neal Porter Books, will be released in Spring 2025. We just need to wait a little bit longer to hold the book. For now ... I've seen the rough sketches. I'm excited and can't wait to share everything with you.

Here are the videos for KidLit Works. Check them out.
