DAY THREE: I’m trying

November 13, 2019February 2, 2020 / sherri winston / 1 Comment

Looking forward to the future. The impetus for my upcoming Paris trip is just fulfilling a lifelong dream. I’ve always rejected the concept of “A bucket list,” yet I am conscious of wanting to start this next chapter of my life before ...well, I kick the bucket. My mom was a tough woman. A smart, … Continue reading DAY THREE: I’m trying

BIG BOOK NEWS: THE SWEETEST SOUND PAPERBACK

January 3, 2018January 7, 2018 / sherri winston / Leave a comment

It may be rainy today throughout Florida, but there is sunshine in my heart. My sweet, sweet little book about a 10-year-old girl who has the voice of an angel—Mariah Carey is her hero—but is afraid to be heard. I wrote the book so that each chapter would feel like a song. I love this … Continue reading BIG BOOK NEWS: THE SWEETEST SOUND PAPERBACK

    In President of the Whole Sixth Grade, Brianna Justice hooks up with a kid called, "Click," and they make stop-motion movies about life in middle school. I love Legos, so I tried making my own movie trailer. It's hilariously flawed. I'm sure Brianna and Click do much better.

NOTABLES

She’s on the move again. Brianna Justice and President of the Whole Sixth Grade are part of B&N’s latest summer reading program.

Where art and mystery stylishly collide.

Bookist: Winston has created a spunky character in Jada, a fashionable artist and independent girl who isn’t afraid to take on a few adults in the search for the truth. Hopefully Jada will be back for future missions.

 

The Sweetest Sound—a Kirkus Best Book/friendship and family selection 2017.

*Kirkus starred review: … Winston …creates a rich and winning first-person story about a deeply introverted black girl who nearly loses her gift because of her understandable but undermining fear.

Brianna Justice faces discrimination–her own–when she meets black kids from a “bad” neighborhood.

Kirkus starred review: Winston does an excellent job highlighting the complex race issues that African-American children face. …Thought-provoking and smart and a great springboard for discussions on race and class. (Fiction. 10-13)
