So this just happened...

The title of the fourth book 📚 in the Malaika series is...

MALAIKA, CARNIVAL QUEEN!

It comes out in spring 2023 and I can’t wait to share it with you.

MALAIKA, CARNIVAL QUEEN began as one tale and split into two and then back into one then two. The first part of the story became book 3, MALAIKA’S SURPRISE, which was published in 2021.

And soon, you will learn more about Malaika’s story.

MALAIKA, CARNIVAL QUEEN will be published by Groundwood Books and is the first of two books I will be releasing in 2023. (My eighth and ninth books.)

Illustrations by the talented Irene Luxbacher.

Les ARCS sont arrivés!

Les copies de "La surprise de Malaika" (la version française de "Malaika's Surprise") sont ici!

Je suis très impressionée par la beauté, le "look", et la qualité de ces livres traduits. 

Le titre de ette chanson est "Sourire" (smile en anglais) par le duo-soeurs Les Nubians et maintenant, je souris beaucoup. 🥰

Je voudrais remercier l'illustratrice Irene Luxbacher, les équipes Éditions Scholastic et Groundwood Books.

Les autres livres dans la série Malaika (Malaika's Costume et Malaika's Winter Carnival) sont disponibles en français aussi.

Finally, I have the diverse French language books 📚 I wished for as a Core French teacher.

In celebration, I made this reel to celebrate the international nature of my children’s books and the many places I’ve shared my stories.  I can’t wait to start traveling again..

I also love to speak languages.  Let’s practice some time.
