Have you heard of the books Bronx Masquerade, A Walk In The Woods, Garvey's Choice or Make Way For Dyamonde Daniel? Well these books and many other children's and young adult books have been written by the award winning author Nikki Grimes. Guess what I get to talk to her on this episode of Real Reading Talk. She'll be sharing with me her journey into becoming an author, which entails her literacy roots and why she decided to write books that mainly focuses on Black children, teenagers and young adults. Her trials and triumphs are so inspiring and hopeful that after listening to our conversation hopefully, you'll walk away not only wanting to read her books but, also begin to write your own story. This is truly the episode that you do not want to miss!
