Greetings, and welcome to this blog post. My blogging intention is to share my thoughts, questions, ideas, responses, and passions about books. I’ll be posting about reading and responding to books by other writers, and about writing my own books and releasing them to other readers.

As an African American, a lesbian, and a children's book author, I care a lot about diversity in children’s books. At my core is the determination to create more space, more acceptance, and more respect for black kids, other children of color, LGBTQ folks, and others who don’t get enough. If you care about those issues too, or even if you’re just curious about them, I hope you’ll want to read more.

For now, you'll find my blog Becky&Books on my website, beckybirtha.net Please visit.
