My reading revolves around children’s and teen books. from picture books to middle grade to high school fiction. I've learned a lot from kids' nonfiction (remember that Jeopardy contestant who said children's books were his secret weapon?). I love graphic novels with the combination of great stories and amazing art. I always have an audiobook ready which usually means even when I'm cooking or gardening, I'm still reading!
Love for family, friends, community and yourself are celebrated in these picture and board books for children.
Books about artists using found objects and people creating community through art and shared spaces.
Illustrated biographies of artists, musicians, dancers, actors, writers, storytellers, and designers.
Novels for grades 6, 7, 8 that share stories written using poetry. Sometimes fewer words can have a more powerful impact.
Fiction for tweens and young teens featuring kids in the foster care system.
