Kirkus Review is in! + Preorder Giveaway

Our very first trade review is in and it's a good one!

Many thanks to Kirkus for their kind words and for taking the time to review IN THIS CLASSROOM written by me, illustrated by Arthur Lin, and published by Red Comet Press.

Read the full review HERE.

Sharing our words with the world is nerve wracking at every step of the writing process, but the closer I get to publication the more that judgement can weigh on me. Will my words be perceived in the way I intended? Will the message of the book come through clearly? Will anyone even like it?

I am so appreciative and thankful that Kirkus 'got it" when reading, In This Classroom. From their review it is clear that they understood the heart of this story and I can't wait for teachers and students to get this book in their hands when it releases on June 9, 2026.
