Book ‘Em Kiddo

You’ll find all my book reviews here. I am strongly in favor of building great literacy skills starting at birth, so I review books for every stage from infancy to adult fiction. I confess I love it all, from “pulp” fiction to epic literary works, and I am sharing that love with my kids.

I’m currently focusing on adding reviews of elementary level picture books,  “tween reads,” and adult fiction, with particular emphasis on female authors and illustrators, and books that feature inclusive characters.

If you’re an author (or represent one!) and would like me to review your book, please visit my Media & PR page for information on how to get your book into my hands.
