My books:
BEST #OWNVOICES CHILDREN’S BOOKS: My Favorite Diversity Books for Kids Ages 1-12 is a book that I created to highlight books written by authors who share the same marginalized identity as the characters in their books.
What a great interview! I loved learning more about you and MCBD! This is my first year as an author, my first year participating in MCBD and the first year my son’s class is celebrating MCBD! We are both looking forward to the MCBD party in his class today! Thanks so much for creating such a worthy, and much needed event!
Thank you for your support Eugenia! And congrats on your new book!
Hooray, Mia!! Great interview–I enjoyed watching it! Congrats on the upcoming coaching book!
