Indies First!

It’s Small Business Saturday and if you’re thinking of giving books for the holidays, I urge you to order them online from Teaching for Change. If you can visit the DC store, you’re in for a real treat—the majority of their kids books are by and about people of color! Plus the people who work in the store have a commitment to social justice so you can trust that the CONTENT of those diverse books is CORRECT. I was honored to have one of my books included on their Best of 2014 list. Indie bookstores often want authors to support them, but they won’t all support indie authors like me. Teaching for Change is one of the few bookstores that carries my books for young readers, but they’re facing hard economic times so please give them your support!
