Yesterday, Carmen Bogan and I had the great privilege to discuss Willis Watson is A Wannabe to over 100 educators and faculty from the early education program in Irvington, NJ. We also discussed what does it mean to be culturally responsive and the importance of mirror books. #kidlit

There are several folklore tales that are spread widely in Caribbean. A while back I did a illustration for Plantain Papers/WePresent on the story of Soucouyant—pronounced “Soo-koo-yah”—a shape-shifting, soul-sucking demon who appears as an old woman by day. #kidlit #illustration

Goodreads is owned by Amazon & there is an AMAZING alternative‼️ The StoryGraph is a black women-owned competitor to GoodReads with better UI in my opinion. When you sign up you can even transfer your data from Goodreads to StoryGraph!

The library has been the greatest gift that I've every received. When I was growing up, my mum would take us to the library every Saturday morning. It is there that my love for picture books began. #kidlit

I created a form to be shared with contacts at Black owned bookstores to request an invite to bluesky. I chose the model of the form for invites to the disability community cuz it seemed like I have a lot of people already willing to donate that we can quickly get codes to places that want them.
