Announcing my book tour for Magnolia Flower, a stunner of a picture book, illustrated by @loveiswiseillu. I have been waiting for this for a long, long time—for the opportunity to escort kids, like my daughter, to the genius of Zora Neale Hurston and the lovely, humorous, and inspiring lore of everyday Black people. No one should have to wait until they come of age to be exposed to the moving stories Zora told and the treasured folklore she collected. And our kids need stirring love stories from history like Magnolia Flower in this time of swirling hatred for people and history. Catch me in Chicago, Detroit, Miami, Minneapolis, or Philly with Loveis. Or catch us online for our Magnolia Flower launch event with @moorebooksllc on Wednesday, September 7. See you soon!
