—————
Meet Kyrie! She is an eight year old fourth grader who is intelligent and not afraid to show it. Kyrie loves reading and building her vocabulary. Kyrie carries her special notebook, “Kyrie’s Fantastic Words List” everywhere she goes and incorporates her growing vocabulary into her thoughts and conversations. Homeschooled until age eight, Kyrie is eager to attend school for the first time to finally make friends.
But when peer bullying arises, Kyrie has to develop the confidence to devise a plan to stop the bullies in their tracks!

It’s wonderful to see an author be so inclusive of audiences of all ages and reading levels! Kyrie’s School Blues is a book that young black girls can see themselves in – both through words and images. I’m excited to see what’s next!
