Look at this beauty! I’m so happy to have a story in this contemporary LGBTQ+ anthology, edited by Saundra Mitchell. In stores May 26, 2020, and available for pre-order now! 🙂
I’M NOT A GIRL Cover Reveal!
I am beyond thrilled and honored to share the cover for our upcoming picture book I’M NOT A GIRL, co-written by Maddox Lyons and myself, illustrated by Dana Simpson.
This book has already been on quite a journey, and I’m so excited for it to finally be published on May 26, 2020. Maddox (who, by the way, is the coolest 12-year-old on the planet) and Dana did something really special here, friends. There are no words to express what a privilege it’s been for me to help bring it to fruition.
Thank you thank you thank you to our agent Kate McKean, our editor Megan Abbate, and everyone at Macmillan/FSG/Roaring Brook. 💞💞💞 #protecttranskids #transisbeautiful#ownvoices #kidlit
