Happy Friday! Please be patient with us. We are in transition. After 10 years at the helm, @RodriguezCindyL has decided to step away to focus on her new job, family, and personal writing projects. Someone new is taking over, but that is still in the works. More to come soon!

Honored to see Plàtanos Are Love in this list of 14 Caribbean Picture Books Out in 2023 in the Social Justice Books @sojustbooks site written by Summer Edwards. I was excited to see some of my author friends on this list too.

ALL the feelings when I see a stack of my books but here’s what makes this stack I signed extra special—each year I’ve had a book out, someone’s asked, “Will you be at the @NTTBFest ?” THIS IS MY 1ST TIME BEING INVITED! Feeling ALL THE THINGS, especially grateful🙏🏽. Day 2 today!
