Hey everyone!

We are so excited to be able to offer a tour for Star Daughter by Shveta Thakrar! Since this is a quick turnaround time, please be sure to sign up as soon as possible!

As someone who used to work with children and teens within this demographic I’ve experienced firsthand the joy these stories bring to young readers. My students would always share what they were reading with me and explain how each book represented them. Star Daughter would be a great opportunity for readers such as my students to see themselves in fantastical adventures while reading about aspects of their culture.

SIGN UP: Raybearer by Jordan Ifueko

Hello friends!

We are so excited to announce that we will be hosting a book tour for Raybearer by Jordan Ifueko!

Every tour we will be sharing with you why we advocated for the books that we represent and it’s my turn today 🙂 🙌🏾

Not only is Ifueko a debut author in the YA fantasy genre, but seeing an African-inspired fantasy with a young female protagonist struggling to find her place in the world is so reflective of how me and so many other Black young women feel. Too often are Black women forced to choose between one extreme over the other, when in reality we have proven time and again that we have the courage, strength, and dedication to choose what WE want. WE have that power over ourselves, and seeing Tarisai’s journey of self-discovery in this world will allow us to find our place in a genre that for many years has never seen us as worthy of our own stories.

Hello Book Community!

We are so excited to be organizing this surprise book tour for Lori! FOREST OF SOULS is a book that we have been anticipating for a while, and we didn’t want it to go unnoticed. It is important to us that Lori knows that her readers are here for her during this time, and that she knows that we support her.

Lori once said that she wanted her book to show us that friendships can sometimes be stronger than other kinds of relationships. This tour is our friendship bracelet. We hope that in the future, when she looks back at how happy we were at something she created, it makes her smile.

We are so glad that you have decided to come along for the ride!
