This poem kept me up after fajr and I’ve been writing it throughout the day even though I have to do my other work. Sharing here to tell myself it’s done and in case someone else enjoys it.

The annual @aamericanchildrensbookfair takes place this Saturday, February 1st at the Pennsylvania Convention Center. Kick off Black History Month with notable Black authors and illustrators. Giveaways, signings, and many great books! I look forward to seeing you there ☺️
