I couldn’t spot any of my books on the shelves at my local @bnplantation, so imagine my joy when the lovely Paula realized I was the author and said, “I know exactly where BIRDS OF A FEATHER is.” 🥰🦚She even found a peacock to pose with the book. Thank you, Paula, for making my day. @stephfizercoleman @vikingbooks @penguinrandomhouse by @sitawrites
