Hello—thank you for visiting my website. I am the author of numerous award-winning picture-book biographies and the illustrator of dozens of trade and educational books for youth.
My newly published book is called A Poem For Dudley Randall (Abrams, Sept. 2026), the story of a child who discovered the power of poetry at four years old and grew up to create a publishing empire!

A recent book that I illustrated includes a Little Golden Book Biography of Prince (January 2026)! Read more about it in Black Enterprise Magazine and at CBS News!
In addition to writing and illustrating, I enjoy presenting at elementary schools, reading and writing conferences, and book and literary festivals. Please contact me for more information.
