In our Writers Against Racism series, we’re asking members of the kidlit community to reflect on their personal experiences of racism and its impact on their professional work. Swing by Amy’s SLJ blog and meet Jesse Watson, an amazing illustrator who grew up determined to be an ally to black people in his community. His latest book for children is I and I, a pictoral biography written by Tony Medina.

Loving the series. Thanks for introducing me to Jesse's work. I can't comment at SLJ. Something about cookies. I'm going to the library later and will try to comment there.

His is my favorite so far. I hope this series continues forever ever.

Forever ever, huh? From the woman who didn't even want to participate!!! I think we'll be shifting gears before too long so Amy can share the responses she's gotten from publishers...should be interesting, to say the least...

Susan, every time you say "cookies" I get hungry...my overactive sweet tooth, I guess. We miss your two cents, so I hope it works out soon...
