Over the coming weeks I will be covering book launches within
the children's literature world and other childlit-related events that
are cancelled due to the coronavirus outbreak in this country. You can
help out these authors by spreading the word about their new books,
following them on social media, recommending their books to your
libraries, and, of course, purchasing them when you can.
I'm collecting this information on a catch-as-catch-can basis. Many more
authors and illustrators will be affected who you won't see here.
The Only Black Girls In Town
On March 12th,
Brandy Colbert announced that her March tour dates for her middle grade novel
The Only Black Girls in Town have been cancelled.
The Only Black Girls in Town,
published by Little, Brown and Company Books for Young Readers, deals
with the only two black girls in town, one a newcomer, who find a box of old
journals and set to work to determine what that's about.
Brandy
Colbert is the author of five books for young people and a contributor
to anthologies. She is also a teacher in a MFA program and a copy
editor.
My Life As A Potato
March and April events for
My Life As A Potato by
Arianne Costner have been
postponed.
My Life As A Potato, published by Penguin Random House, is about a boy forced to become a school mascot. It is Arianne Costner's debut book.
