(The cover is so much more appealing after learning, during our #writingwhileblackpod conversation/interview with the author, that the cover model was a reader who shared with Tracy how much Khadeja's story impacted her life.)

Like in real life, there are some lessons we can learn from (seeing & hearing about) others' experiences and it's some stuff we have to learn on our own, the hard way, from our own personal experience.

It rang true that even w/an active support system (including mom, dad, older brother, & older sister) giving her mostly good advice, our girl Khadeja still had her own journey.

I appreciated the realistic-ness of our main character Khadeja and her journey with trials and triumphs. I was invested and wanted her to win.

👍🏾I kept turning pages in this engaging coming of age story--Tracy L. Darity's 'Justice: He Loves Me He Loves Me Not!' Twas a MESSSSSSS.

A book cover with a thick brick red border. The background of the cover is a young woman sitting on a curb. She seems to be sitting outside of a high school with her school bag. There is a building behind her on the left and trees behind her on the right. Centered i the top quarter of the cover is the title of book "Justice" (in big white letters) & the sub-title of the book "He Loves Me He Loves Me Not!" (in small white letters and over a burgundy rectangular box. In the bottom center in medium white letters is "Tracy L. Darity" the author's name.

When it publishes in Jan2026, I’d love to add a copy of I See You In The Stars to my library. It would be a great resource to share with parents/families & a powerful tool to use the next time I facilitate an introductory astrology group. I’m glad I got to read an advance copy thanks to NetGalley.

And the opening and the closing of the text felt better suited for older children/people. Maybe that young would be a good STARTING age, as I can easily imagine this book being a favorite with some folks for years.
befabulousyou.bsky.social
angela & the Black Writers Group @befabulousyou.bsky.social · 3d
I also wonder if 0-3 is the target age for this book given that most #boardbooks are for that age group. Although the rhymes could be a delight for their ears, will the interactive wheel hold up to the hands and mouths of the littlest ones?
befabulousyou.bsky.social
angela & the Black Writers Group @befabulousyou.bsky.social · 3d
I am wondering if having a digital (not an interactive physical) copy of the book explains why the cover image has Aries in the midheaven; that choice was one thing I, as a student/teacher of #astrology, didn’t understand.

angela & the Black Writers Group @befabulousyou.bsky.social · 3d
Book does an xcellent job of presenting basics of a complex system n an attractive & accessible way. Simple, rhyming descriptions of each sign r wonderful. I especially enjoyed the color palate, animal illustrations, & juxtaposing of constellations over common #astrological images 4 each sign.

The I See You In The Stars (by Kelly Conroy) concept is xciting & the execution was almost flawless. Moving from galaxy 2 sky the book settles n2 the bulk of the contents—an illustration + rhyme 4 each astrological sign—b4 closing w/a list of signs/birthdates corresponding 2 sun signs. #2025books
Children's book cover with a thick gradient purple in center gold on edges border. The center of cover on a navy blue starry sky is a cream based astrological wheel with both image and symbols for each of the 12 signs. The title of the book "I See You In The Stars" is in big white letters curving around the shape of the central wheel. Under that also in white and also curving but smaller is the the subtitle "A Zodiac Book For Babies." Centered on the cover under the wheel in small letter is the authors name "Kelly Conroy" and the words "Illustrated By Sadie Han"
