As a children’s book author, Janelle is passionate about representation. She hopes to create stories that make children fall more in love with themselves. She’s drawn to stories that are lyrical, multi-generational or showcase non-traditional storytelling structures. Since she was a child, Janelle possessed a deep love for reading and writing. Her head was often buried in a book. On holidays, she would show off her writing skills by creating personalized greeting cards for family members using construction paper and lots of glitter! Janelle comes from a long line of educators. She is a veteran New York City public school teacher who is dedicated to providing equitable education and opportunities for Black and brown children. Janelle can often be found blasting music in dance rehearsal, yelling 5-6-7-8, preparing for elaborate productions. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/60e9fa995e832526d15bb313/1628012423582-MUKU6PQ2RFOMF6FW9MWI/DressDanceFront.jpg About Me - Make it stand out Photo Credit: Matthew J.

She finds inspiration in life’s rhythms, city living, and the diverse experiences of the African Diaspora. When she’s not thinking about her next book, Janelle is enthusiastically playing along with TV game shows. Photo Credit: Matthew J.
