Write 2 Read Right presents...

It's Rough out there

While touring schools and libraries, I asked children what kind of stories they wanted me to write. I heard them all, and I listened. Well, here you go for those who want to see boys on the cover and read longer stories!


Meet Jamal, a thoughtful and determined ten-year-old boy living in the heart of the inner city. With bright, curious eyes, Jamal has a sharp mind and is strong-willed. Even with this, he often feels like a fish out of water in his bustling neighborhood, where noisy activities make it hard for him to sleep at night and even harder to concentrate during the day.


This heartfelt story follows Jamal, who dreams of escaping his rough neighborhood to avoid the crime surrounding him. However, his parents are deeply rooted in the community's rich culture and are hesitant to leave.


Jamal's father, who lost his childhood best friend to gun violence, helps Jamal navigate his fears and curiosities about their neighborhood's past. Through engaging and poignant storytelling, It's Rough Out There highlights the challenges and beauty of inner-city life. With his parents' guidance, Jamal learns to see the good in his community and discovers its strength, resilience, and beauty.


Follow Jamal on his emotional journey as he learns valuable life lessons and discovers the true meaning of courage. Whether you live in the city or the suburbs, It's Rough Out There is a must-read for everyone.

Bridging Cultural Gaps


For those living in the suburbs or other areas far removed from inner-city struggles, It's Rough Out There offers a window into a world that is often misunderstood or oversimplified. It provides an authentic portrayal of life for youth in communities facing significant economic challenges. This perspective is crucial for fostering empathy and breaking down stereotypes, a task in which we all have a role, regardless of our location. 

Another Proud First

Love Has No Skin tone book study and curriculum

Write 2 Read Right is thrilled to introduce our first comprehensive book study and curriculum for Love Has No Skin Tone! 

There is a growing recognition of the importance of culturally responsive teaching across the United States, and this story, along with this book study and curriculum, is carefully designed to align with the Illinois Culturally Responsive Teaching and Learning Standards (CRTLS). This guide aims to be user-friendly for parents, teachers, and educational professionals, ensuring that everyone can seamlessly incorporate culturally responsive practices into their teaching and learning environments. 

Love Has No Skin Tone is an impactful book that provides a unique platform for children, families, and teachers to engage in meaningful conversations about racism and diversity.  

The Love Has No Skin Tone book study and curriculum is a powerful tool to foster culturally responsive teaching and learning.


Nova's been to Italy!

When Lady Tracey invited me to talk about The Nova 2020 Book Series on The Lady Tracey Talk Show, I didn't know what to expect. Little did I know being on her show would bring me and the Nova Series to Italy and that I would meet many talented and fabulous authors.

Got something on your mind?

Emotions can be tricky, and children don't always know how to express their feelings. This can lead to suppressed feelings that can make things worse.
