That's so great to hear that it's being read. Yes, I have another book coming out next year in July. It's called THROW LIKE A GIRL, CHEER LIKE A BOY: THE EVOLUTION OF GENDER, IDENTITY, AND RACE IN SPORTS. It looks at issues like gender segregation in sports, the history of gender testing in the Olympics, the rights of transgender athletes to compete, and how the history of race and sports are connected. So it's a great entry for kids into thinking about issues of equality and social justice. Hope you'll check it out. Thanks again for sharing my book!(less)

"I absolutely loved this book. Part of the fun for me is that I live in the town Lanier is based on, so I couldn’t help but laugh at all the little Easter eggs sprinkled throughout. But even if you don’t have that connection, you’ll love it.
