About the Author:
Featured Author: Shanequa Davis
Author Shanequa Davis writes with the intention to change the trajectory of children's literature by combining memories of family with cultural relevance. Holding a B.A. in Psychology and a M.S. in Education from Bank Street College of Education, she understands how important it is for young people of color to see themselves in the stories they read. As a licensed teacher in the state of New York, and a former teacher at NYC public schools, Ms. Davis was able to see firsthand the lack of diversity in the school libraries of early readers. Driven by experiential knowledge, she embarked on a journey to be the change she wanted to see. Ms. Davis' love of children's literature has inspired her to follow her dream by writing and publishing children's stories that are loved and cherished by the young and the young at heart.
