These look really cute! Hadn't seen these before, thanks.
CUTE! Remind me to look these up. :)
Happy almost birthday! :)
How adorable are these books!!! So books with African-Americans on the cover really are selling. Shocker there.
Can't wait to get my hands on these... I'm anxiously awaiting their arrival! Love series that are captivating to the middle-elementary (reluctant readers) level!

Thanks.
I love the Nikki & Deja books. Just brought Keena Ford and the Second Grade Mix up by new author Melissa Thomson, illus by Frank Morrison. I love his work.
