Interview Highlights
On what inspired her to write children s books
Becoming a kids book author is never what I imagined. It was never on my my bucket list. I m sort of an accidental author. . [I remember] reading the classics to my older daughter and wondering, you know, where the black children were. They were not represented on the pages of books. We would color the skin color in with a brown marker; often we would change pronouns from he, to she, to they.
And I saw, you know, firsthand . this idea that you can t be what you can t see. . Now [my daughter] says she wants to be a president and an astronaut when she grows up and that is because she saw a family member running for president. It s because she read a book about [astronaut] Mae Jemison.
