Book news!
I'm thrilled to be able to announce that I have another middle grade novel coming from Holiday House in Summer 2022!
NOTHING IS LITTLE
Eleven-year-old Felix likes being the smallest kid in middle school. He knows how he fits in. Plus, his nickname, “Short-lock Holmes,” is perfect for a kid who’s killing it in Forensic Science Club. But everything changes when he starts getting shots for his growth hormone deficiency and learns his biological dad is also short. Felix has never met his dad and knows very little about him. But his sister, who’s due in a few months, will know both of her parents. Felix decides to put his investigation skills to use and find his dad. But what if his dad doesn’t want to be found?
I am so happy to announce that I have another picture book biography coming! This one is co-authored with Chiquita Mullins Lee (illustrated by Jennifer Mack-Watkins) and will be released by Kokila in Fall 2023.
