RUBY’S REUNION DAY DINNER (HarperCollins; Jestenia Southerland, illustrator)
SHOW THE WORLD (Philomel; Daria Peoples-Riley, illustrator)
TO BOLDLY GO (HarperCollins; Lauren Semmer, illustrator)

Reunion Day is the day each year that all the family gathers to make a soul food dinner. Every auntie, uncle and cousin has a special dish they make to share with the family. Ruby wants her own “signature dish,” but she’s too small to work at the hot stove or grill or to cut up the onions. What can she contribute to the feast?  Find out in RUBY’S REUNION DAY DINNER!

SHOW THE WORLD asks kids what they will do, say or create to express who they are, whether by painting a mural, performing a poem, inventing something out-of-this-world or in any number of other marvelous ways.

TO BOLDLY GO tells the story of “Star Trek” star Nichelle Nichols, and of a child who treasured family time with her parents in front of the TV reveling in the adventures of Lt. Uhura.

Angela lives in Oakland, CA, where she is a member of a social justice and #OwnVoices picture book author and illustrator collective. Learn more about Angela here.
