Sharing one of my favorite advance reviews of ROOT MAGIC here. @GullGeechComm posted it last year and it felt incredible to hear that I'd successfully captured a little piece of my people and my hometown on the page. #GullahGeechee

My friend sent me this from Wisconsin, and his mom clipped it and sent it to him, and I didn't even know it appeared in print, and man I love my Midwest people. Thank you @monkeypants44 (and mom!) and @sarahmariewrote for this lovely PRINT review of TOMBOYLAND in @washingtonpost!

I spent the last few days of 2020 off the grid, and returned to the world to find this deeply generous review of TOMBOYLAND in @The_Rumpus. So many thanks to @MelindaCopp for these lovely words, which will carry me into this new year. Also, Leo 4 lyfe. therumpus.net/2020/12/tomboy…

Out 2/2/2021: I AM BIRD by @hope_lim, illus. Hyewon Yum has a powerful message: we all have more in common than we think. With simple, spare text, and vibrant illustrations, this is a must read. @Candlewick bookshop.org/books/i-am-a-b… @Soaring20sPB

The first review for WHEN WE WERE INFINITE is here! @KirkusReviews called it “beautifully, achingly cathartic.” ⭐️ kirkusreviews.com/book-reviews/k… I’ve been working on this book my entire adult life and It’s surreal it’s going out into the world.
