Cover of the children's book 'I Want to Read All the Books' by Debbie Ridpath Ohi, showing a joyful young girl with long dark hair and a blue dress, sitting cross-legged among a vast array of colorful books, hugging one book closely. A small white dog with a blue collar is beside her, also surrounded by books. The background is a soft beige, and the author's name is prominently displayed at the bottom. Text in the bottom corner reads: "Advance Reviewer Proofs. Color and text not final."

LOOK what just arrived: an Advance Reviewer Proof of I WANT TO READ *ALL* THE BOOKS!!!

This will be my 1st solo picture bk (that I wrote as well as illustrated) in nearly 7 years. Pls consider pre-ordering? Helps show publishers my WRITING is valued as well as my art.🤞🏼

Thank you, Bonnie.

Grateful for supportive friends, family, Cps, for strange happenstance that got me my agent, for opportunities I never thought would come my way, for the good sense to keep my expectations reasonable, for dark chocolate, goat milk and 17 wonderful years with my best buddy and muse, Zephyr (RIP).

This is just to say that I am Kavi by Thushanthi Ponweera debuts today, and you should absolutely go order it now.

It's a beautiful middle grade historical fiction novel-in-verse set during the Sri Lankan civil war in the 90s.
