When My Cousins Come to Town

About When My Cousins Come to Town

Second book for this talented, connected and enthusiastic author whose first book was covered by extensively by culture media like Sheen. We plan to publish another book with her. Booklist said this about her first book, The Noisy Classroom: ¿An encouraging story about braving new experiences.¿ and it was positively reviewed in Kirkus. Insider peek into ¿cousin culture¿ and its importance for Black children and families. Author has done several interviews about this subject. Author recently wrote article for Knowledge Quest, a highly respected librarian magazine. Author has excellent platform and is working with respected publicist, Dawn Michelle Hardy, to grow her brand. Vibrant art brings the story to life. Excellent diversity pick full of humor and positive SEL character traits. From the author: "A big theme in my head is how we carve out an identity for ourselves growing up and all that goes into it (believing in yourself, recognizing your strengths as an individual apart from other people, etc.). Ultimately I'm hoping it reinforces the notion that being true to yourself is best. On the familial side of things - it's a book unique to Black families because Cousin Culture is such a big part of growing up Black (sometimes cousins aren't always blood-cousins; it's more about community)." Book guide will be available. Synopsis: Main character eagerly awaits her summer visits with her cousins. This year, she¿s determined to earn a nickname. Lexile 660L; F&P Text Level O
