What an amazing experience! Even though the 2026 @harlembookfair is over, I am still gliding on the energy of the event and the opportunity to share space with the talented authors in attendance. @storiesofacolorfulwrld curated a unique children’s space that took the reading experience to another level. Can’t wait for 2027!

We are bringing our story to the heart of the NYC! Join me Aug 29 at the 2026 Harlem Book Fair - the nation’s largest African American book fair. 🎉

As a proud #VIChild 🇻🇮, I know the strong connection between the Caribbean and New York. Harlem is home to the Schomburg Center, named to honor Arturo Schomburg, who was of Virgin Islands descent. Being a Virgin Islands author, stepping onto this iconic stage to share my children’s book about identity and USVI culture, “I Am”, is a true dream.

This book launch has been such a journey and it is all about the power of telling our stories and making sure every young reader sees their brilliance reflected.

Who is pulling up to Harlem? Drop a comment below and let’s connect!

I am excited about each day of this journey as it unfolds. Get your “I Am” 30-Day Jewel Journey at SPBookShop.com#booklaunch #iambook #kidlitillustration

I have always been a Dr. Seuss fan and “Oh, the places you’ll go” is one of my faves. It gives inspiration and marching orders for a journey, making it a go to gift for a high school or college graduate.
Recently, a friend, reached out after receiving her copy of “I Am.” She said the story’s focus on identity and connection to who you are and where you are from now makes it her go to graduation gift. Whether Starting Kindergarten or College, may every student remember to “Go Forth Bravely.” #booktok #kidlitillustration #booklaunch #virginislands

I Am isn’t just a children’s book…

I often say that “I Am” is more than a book because extends beyond a story. Yes, it is a children’s story about identity and belonging set in the beautiful #USVirginIslands. But beyond that, our #booklaunch introduced much more. The “I Am” collection brings together #kidlitart and storytelling into a phenomenal experience, introducing our character aligned affirmations and our JEWEL Journey program. Get your “I Am Collection. (Link in the comments) #DiscoverTheJewelsWithin
