BORN READY by Jodie Patterson received an enthusiastic starred review from Kirkus. They write: “Warmth and pride in identity radiate from the pages, brightened by the expressive, lively illustrations…This representation of a Black family and transgender child (author Patterson is Penelope’s mother) shines with joy and affirmation…A triumphant declaration of love and identity.” Crown Books for Young readers will publish the book on April 20, 2021.
