Editorial Reviews

2020 Foreword Indies Finalist - Juvenile

"With pen and ink drawings that capture the emotions of its characters, the early reader Some Pigtails includes a spunky heroine who models community activism well."—Foreword Reviews

"The Lola Jones series is well written with black-and-white illustrations, high-level vocabulary, and strong themes for young readers. This entry does a wonderful job of explaining individual rights and demonstrating how to speak up for oneself, and it offers young readers a positive depiction of a multi-generational Black family in an early chapter-book format."—Booklist
