Kirkus says of award-winning THE NEW BICYCLE, a story about a girl and the adventures of her new bicycle:
"Beautiful illustrations pair perfectly with simple, succinct text."
In the latest @RhymeDoctors House Calls blog, I explore writing a picture book sequel. I feel so lucky to have 3 “Pick a” books out in the world!

What a lovely compliment, and as a former teacher it is especially nice! TY! Wonderful to be included with these other amazing books! @SourcebooksKids@SBKSLibrary@RootLiterary
T.J.B.T.Ratchet —a teacher’s dream. So many poetic forms explained.
Rhyme Schemer—the epitome of what I ❤️ about verse and using a specific type (Found Poetry) to elevate the story.
African Town and Voices—the poetry type chosen for each character is deliberate and adds layers.
Without a doubt one of the most gut-wrenching and impactful books I’ve ever read.
This was a required reading for my Theological Hamartiology & Anthropology class but I think it should also be required reading for every American Christian.
The Color of Compromise by @JemarTisby was such an eye-opener for me to learn about the racist history of white american evangelicalism. It's alarming how deeply rooted white supremacy still is within it & I've repented for the role I've played in the machine. Highly recommend.
As a former teacher, Ratchet gets high marks! I would have absolutely read this with my students. (P.S. My dog loved it too. First time she “ate” a book 😆, so we bought the library a fresh new copy!)
On this day of ❤️ love ❤️, I thought I’d share some NIV that I love!
I’ve read 50 NIV in about a month on my way to 100!

HAPPENING NOW: We’ve laid out 2,280 schoolbooks and broken pencils before the U.S. Capitol.
They represent the 2,280 children that have been killed by gun violence since the Senate has refused to bring a vote on background checks.
We're telling senators: #DontLookAway.
Hey, @judith_bice TY for HEY, WHITE GIRL. So insightful w/ such authentic characters! The layers & subtleties of the story are so thought-provoking. Readers already aware of embedded racism will see it more clearly & some may begin to see it for the 1st time. So important!
