I am so happy to share that I wrote a children’s book! I have been working on this project for so long and now I am ready to share it with the world. Check out the cover below!!!
Yes! My book has two covers …. why do you ask? WHY NOT! This is the beauty of creating something that really showcases who you are and what you love!

Who Am I? Besides the obvious (a beautiful multi-faceted Black Woman) – I am a teacher
What Do I Love? KIDS! Anyone who knows me knows that I love kids. I love being an aunt, a teacher, and hanging out with young learners.
I really enjoyed working on this project and even having friends daughter put her talents to work and design the front cover of the book. She went through edits and edit drawing and working on what the cover could look like and even back and forth with a digital illustrator to take her drawing and make it a digital image! Once she was pleased we went with it. My sweet little niece designed the front cover and I absolutely love it.
I promise to share here with the book is ready for purchase! I have shared tips for the classroom here on my blog and here are two links to previous posts. I look forward to sharing my completed work with all of you in just a few weeks and hope that you can support me!
