Why I Love...Christopher Grant
I love this particular topic as it has to change as authors continue to write more books. I love that feeling of finding and author for the first time. Then the moment where I realize that it is their first book or story gives me that extra tingle. I get excited because I know there is so much more to come.
I'm currently enamored with Mr. Christopher Grant, author of Teenie. I reviewed Teenie and interviewed Mr. Grant during the Black History Month Blog Hop. I am still staggered that Teenie, a book about a young black girl, was written by a man. Oh I know it happens, but that isn't the problem. I'm still just so flabbergasted that it was done and done so well. Teenie's voice was so clearly that of a teen girl. I had to keep looking at the flap to make sure I wasn't crazy. I absolutely have to give Mr. Grant props for writing such a great book in an unexpected voice.
I have to admit that there are many more authors that I love and for different reasons.
