A former children's literature instructor at Simmons University, Megan reviews and writes for Kirkus and Horn Book; is a consultant with EmbraceRace, a community focused on race and kids; and serves on the curation team of Our Shelves, a subscription box service that features racially diverse, LGBTQ+, and feminist characters and families.
This early-reader series follows best friends April and Mae through the week. In this first entry, short, repetitive sentences geared toward emerging readers tell the story of a tea party gone wrong when a juggling routine leads to a broken teacup and an argument. Digital illustrations showing the friends and their pets range from vignettes to double-page spreads. Also available: April & Mae and the Book Club Cake; April & Mae and the Soccer Match; April & Mae and the Talent Show. —The Horn Book
