Ms. Brewer’s most recent books include Say Their Names, a picture book due out in August 2022 by Reycraft Books. Inspired by her ancestors' courage, fueled by a voice as sweet as a song, 7-year-old Aliya leads a march for Black Lives that galvanizes us to #saytheirnames, imagine, and work for deeper, higher, love-inspired change; and the rhythmic novel, Darius Daniels: Game On!, about 11-year-old Darius’s journey to identity inside a video game that tries to play him. Both books are part of Caroline’s Hungry Readers Campaign, designed to get kids hooked on books and to disrupt and change the literacy game for children and families the world over.
