  I had such a great time being interviewed by 12-year-old Charlie Simon on Between the Lines!   Her questions were thoughtful, fun, and reminded me why I love writing for kids. We talked about An Instrument for Florenda, the power of perseverance, and how stories can help kids believe in themselves.   Listen now:

I’m honored to be quoted in The Bump about my experience using the hospital nursery after my daughter’s birth. Read the full article and my reflections here. https://www.thebump.com/a/what-are-the-different-types-of-nurseries-in-the-hospital

I’m thrilled to share that my book,  An Instrument for Florenda  (Second Edition), has joined the JFIC Stand Alone Collection at Wake County Public Libraries—alongside beloved titles like  Wonder . To be part of a collection that celebrates stories with heart and lasting impact is deeply humbling. Florenda’s journey—from dreaming of a clarinet to finding her voice through music—is a reflection of every child who dares to believe in something bigger than their circumstances. I wrote this story to honor that spark. As I often say:  “The sounds of today are tomorrow’s inspiration.”  — Tomeko Brown, Author Visit my website at  https://tomekobrown.com/
