"Growing up, I never saw a Native American girl like me portrayed in books unless it was an historical narrative about Sacagawea or Pocahontas. . . . I want to be the role model I wish I had as a kid, and my book is one way of illustrating how, despite my dyslexia, I became an engineer."

I recommend As Edward Imagined, a #picturebook bio written by Matthew Burgess and illustrated by Marc Majewski about a personal fave artist and author Edward Gorey, a "master of the playfully macabre" who lived his eccentric life authentically. Published by Knopf BFYR
