In celebration of THEY BUILT ME FOR FREEDOM, which releases on May 14, Tonya Duncan Ellis stopped by to tell us What Was On her mind, desk & list of biggest challenges as she moved from writing a chapter book series to her debut picture book. whatwason.com/2024/04/16/ton… HarperCollins

At a school visit today, a boy ran up to me and said, “Today started out as the worst day. Now it’s the best day!” This is what books & their creators have done for me, too. Turned my day around. So honored to be able to continue that tradition 📚❤️
