Winsome Bingham
@armyvet5.bsky.social
Author of books 4 children. Picture books, chapter books, and an occasional novel. I’ve penned SOUL FOOD SUNDAY (⭐️), WELCOME TO FORT GOODE, THE WALK ( ⭐️), MISSING MOMMA (⭐️), LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL (⭐️), THE TABLE (⭐️). I treat others the way I want to be treated.
I am such a fan of @jasonreynolds83.bsky.social and last night at the Brooklyn Public Library I’m reminded why. He is so thoughtful and intentional about his writing. Now I have to go buy Jay Ellis’ book.

If you haven’t read the TRACK series, pick up GHOST, LU, SUNNI, PATINA, and now COACH!

The blatant racism that is being displayed makes me sick. The dismantling of the education system, the banning of books, the firing of qualified individuals while pushing the narrative they are unqualified and only in their positions because they are Black or Brown. This is not right!

It is official!!! ELSBETH has become one of my favorite shows. One, because it now has Sullivan Jones who narrated the audiobook of my debut book, SOUL FOOD SUNDAY. And two, because I just saw an episode with @davidalangrier1.bsky.social and again, he never disappoints. I needed this joy today 💕

A legend has passed on. Roberta Flack has passed on. This reminds me on the line in LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL when Granny says, “Earth is a rented space. Heaven is home.” Roberta Flack went home. If you want to learn more about her check out THE GREEN PIANO. #RIPRobertaFlack

@colbysharp.bsky.social have #BookAdvice and it is to read THE TABLE as soon as you can. He said it was a brilliant masterpiece and I agree, but I’m biased. #BookRecommendation #BookLove

What a lost to humanity. I was so blessed and honored to meet her and had a few meaningful convos with her. Her wisdom will be missed. #NikkiGiovanni

School Library Journal has a selection of four books about voting which centers grandmothers, mothers, and daughters.

My book, THE WALK, illustrated by E. B. Lewis is one of their selections. As we embark on this historical journey in our country, let’s start talking about democracy and sacrifice.
