A Moment with Miss Tillie, MacKenzie, and Cozbi

“… I wanted to know every part of this garden. I reached down to feel the ground.
The earth was damp and cool. It felt like it was giving me something I couldn’t see.
‘How did you create this, Miss Tillie?’ I wanted to know.”

Last week at Kirkus, I talked to author-illustrator Cozbi A. Cabrera about her new picture book, My Hair Is a Garden (Albert Whitman, April 2018). That is here.

I’m following up today with a bit of art from the book. Below are the images from the book’s endpapers.

  1. WOW. This is a natural progression from Happy to be Nappy and I Love My Hair — and it’s gorgeous.
