I’m so thrilled (and perhaps a touch nervous) to be sharing the news that I’ll be doing a virtual author panel for Brown Is Warm, Black Is Bright. This is the book that School Library Journal describes as:

The book makes for a beautiful read-aloud for a group setting with its detailed full-color vibrant imagery and for individual sharing. File this under Black joy, ­childhood, autumn reveries, or pair with other celebrations of Black strength and beauty.

The panel will be moderated by the fine staff at Books of Wonder in New York. If you would like to tune in, we’d be so delighted to have you. And please feel free to share this with anyone else you think might be interested.

Date: September 3, 2022
Time: 1:00 PM
How to join
(They recommend reserving a spot, so do check it out before the event starts.

The other authors on the panel will be Sophia N. Lee and Isabel Roxas (Holding On) and Thyra Heder (Sal Boat).

Signed copies of all the books will be available for order. Please come! Spread the word!

Some very creative volunteer even decorated the bananas in the author's lunch room!

Some very creative volunteer even decorated the bananas in the author’s lunch room!

I had a great time last Saturday, signing books at the WNY (Western New York) Expo in Buffalo, signing alongside London Lad and Kathryn Otoshi, with Maine author Cynthia Lord down the aisle and former Mainer Toni Buzzeo close by! Tons of visitors and workshops and great chats with enthusiastic readers. The whole thing was organized with remarkable grace and efficiency by Kim Krug of Monkey See, Monkey Do bookstore–don’t neglect to visit if you’re near Buffalo!

My only regret is that I didn’t make it to Niagara Falls. Maybe another year!
