Derrick Barnes

Where I come from, no one dreams of becoming an author.

I didn’t know any famous African American male authors. I didn’t actually meet one until I attended college. I wanted to be a football player, the next Sean Combs, or a rapper; anything that would instantly provide me with the riches I would need to “move my mama off of the block”. I was raised in a single parent household by my mother, the lovely Miss Catherine Barnes, along with my big brother, Anthony, in Kansas City, MO.

My first attempt at writing a real story was in the fifth grade. I think it was about a group of stray dogs trekking across the country to find a magic bone or something. I can’t remember. But I do remember what it felt like when I finished and read it. It felt power

Pat Zietlow Miller

Now, she writes insurance information by day and children’s books by night. She has 11 picture books available and 12 more that will be coming out in the next few years.

Egor Klopenko

Books for children require absolute sincerity and purity. To create something real, you must strip away all that is superfluous, all that is artificial, all that is so common in adult prose. What remains must be only goodness, beauty, joy, light, and love—only the most valuable and important things, only the things you would want to give your children. But this is how books for adults should be written, too…And perhaps, this is just how we should live as well…
