Loved @halseanderson 's REBELLION 1776 and was struck by how well it paired with STRONG AS FIRE, FIERCE AS FLAME. Both are empowering stories of girls alone in the world, seeking employment in households, finding their voices in turbulent times, and making a difference, 70 years apart.πŸ”₯ #kidlit

This is the book cover for Brown is Beautiful written by Indian American author Supriya Kelkar and Kashmiri-American Noor Sofi. The cover features a young brown-skinned girl of South Asian descent holding a brown leaf which covers part of her face. She is smiling and is surrounded by flowers.

5 days until my 15th book is out! I'll never forget the 13 yrs of rejections before my 1st book was published & won't forget the feeling 8 yrs later, seeing my 15th book. It's all because of YOU, friends, readers, family. Thanks for making this dream come true. #kidlit @mackidsbooks.bsky.social
