Yes, I'm an actual librarian.
For over 15 years I’ve worked professionally as a youth librarian and I hold both a Bachelors Degree in Fiction Writing and a Masters Degree in Library Science. All that to say, any site of mine wouldn’t be complete without a booklist. Â
I’ve compiled titles that I’ve come across, titles that others have recommended to me, and children’s books that I love. While I haven’t read each and every title contained here, I encourage you to read them and review them so that we can amplify these topics in the publishing industry.Â
And hey, feel free to email me your reviews or suggestions! Just put “Book Suggestion” in the subject line.
