The creativity of Corey R. Tabor in how he manipulates the physical book is a huge inspiration to me. Iβm also inspired by Lauren Magaziner and how adeptly she weaves representation into her stories.

The cover of And Then, Boom! is displayed showing a young boy holding up a dark cloud with the word Boom! written in red inside of it.
And Then, Boom! by Lisa Fipps was the perfect way to spend this blustery, icy day.
