Thank you all for your kind support for my book announcement! I really really appreciate it. Speaking of books... I loved GENESIS BEGINS AGAIN. I read it at Catch Air a few months ago when my kids were bouncing around the play house. This book made me gasp and feel so much for this character whose grandmother thinks she is too dark. My kids love Jada Jones series by @kelstarly. It's got STEM elements and is light-hearted and deals with navigating friendships and problem-solving. Husband recommends this book by @ta_nehisi_coates_ that he reads whenever he travels. #kidlit

Thank you for those who have supported my picture book thus far! Sometimes I get asked if I'm writing more, and I have been but not all my stories become books. I'm pleased and humbled to share that I have a middle grade book deal with HarperCollins. I can’t believe it and am honored to say the least. It is a lot to process. I am a picture book author and didn’t really think of myself as writing for older children. However, after receiving feedback from a couple of editors for a picture book where something I wrote sounded like a chapter book, my first agent encouraged me to write for older children. I was a little reluctant initially but thought I would give it a try. So 4 years ago I started my novel. I knew I wanted it to be about an immigrant character like me. First drafts are often very rough and mine was a tangle of thoughts. Throughout the years I gave up, tried again, and gave it my all! So alhamdolillah I'm v grateful for these books and can't wait to share Nurah's story with you! Link in profile to how book deal and auction unfolded! Thank you!!
