Ruby and The Booker Boys strikes again!


Hello Everyone,
Well I am happy to announce that the third "Ruby Booker" book is out in stores. My cousins from
South Carolina called to let me know they had just purchased copies of all three books. My cousins in Boston
also called to say they saw it in the bookstore and brought copies for every child in the family. I'm amazed and humbled myself. God is so very good! I am so glad to have been given the chance to illustrate the writings of Mr. Derrick Barnes. He is so very funny and talented. I look forward to doing more "Ruby Booker" books for many years to come
