I love books. I love books because reading them can inform us, enlighten us, inspire us, and empower us and our children to make our world better. Books can also simply bring us joy.
Books are definitely culture carriers. I believe all of us can learn more about each other and can make a positive difference in the lives of children and adults by sharing our unique stories and the wonderful diversity of people on this planet. Good books do make a difference. That's why I've spent my career writing, designing, editing and publishing children's books; talking about the need for diversity in the classroom; visiting schools and libraries; encouraging parents to read for and with their children and actively advocating family literacy.
I hope you are visiting this site because you believe in the power of books and the importance of the diversity they bring. To learn more about me and my work, you can read my bio and visit JUST US BOOKS.com , the publishing company I founded with my husband Wade.
Happy Reading!
Remember that good books make a difference.
