In March, Melvina Noel (Chef Edna) returns with her sophomore picture book release, Mama’s Library Summers (Cameron Kids), illustrated by Daria Peoples. The story “is a moving picture book tribute to a strong Black mother, libraries, and the power of reading…” How wonderful for Women’s History Month! Don’t forget to pre-order Noel’s book as well as the other ones coming soon.
