I am so happy to have been selected for a spotlight during The Brown Bookshelf’s annual 28 Days Later campaign. Since 2007, The Brown Bookshelf has been pushing awareness of outstanding Black children’s book creators. They have become a resource for teachers, parents, and librarians looking for suggestions of books for African-American children and teens. Their signature campaign, 28 Days Later, celebrates pioneering and established Black children’s book authors and illustrators as well as new voices who may be flying “under-the-radar” of teachers, librarians, and parents. Each day of Black History Month, they shine a spotlight on an outstanding author or illustrator, and we are on Day 5 this year!

We are thrilled to be featured as one of the 19 new diverse picture book biographies released in 2019 on #19PBbios. These diverse PB bios are gorgeous and important and already on the shelves! See our listing and the other 18 amazing books at https://www.19pbbios.com. People in children’s publishing have called this moment “the golden age of picture book biographies.” These past few years have brought a fresh, new spin on the old view of picture book biographies (PB bios). No longer dry, birth-to-death, lists of facts, PB bios are now creative, colorful, and innovative in how they present real people’s lives. They draw kids in. They focus on moments, themes, or little-known people or places. They excite librarians, educators and parents. They’re works of art. –Meg Pincus of #19PBbios, https://www.19pbbios.com/post/whatis19pbbios #JourneyofYorkBookReview
