I will never forget the day I got the email from my editor that ALEX'S GOOD FORTUNE was selected for the Imagination library.
And learn and understand why she created this program. Thank you Dolly for the incredible impact you made on all of us.

Children's book friends! What are your favorite fairy tale retellings & fairy-tale inspired books from BIPOC authors & illustrators? I have a list started but feel like I must be missing a lot of more recent releases.
