Kelly Starling Lyons writes picture books, early readers and chapter books centred on Black children, family, history, imagination and everyday achievement. The Jada Jones series follows a science-loving schoolgirl through friendship problems, class projects and new challenges, while the Miles Lewis books spin off into another child-focused STEM series. Ty's Travels uses short sentences and lively family situations for beginning readers, and picture books such as Ellen's Broom and Hope's Gift connect children with African American history through objects, family stories and moments of freedom. Lyons's books are warm, accessible and strongly age-appropriate, with historical subjects presented through concrete details rather than abstract lessons. They fit early readers, Black children's fiction, STEM chapter books and historical picture books. Read more Less
