[Stephen Patrick Bell @StephenOrBell]

so stoked I got to talk with two of my absolute favorites, Jamaica Kincaid and Kara Walker, on their new book from @fsgbooks , An Encyclopedia of Gardening for Colored Children @harpersbazaarus

[Publishers Weekly @PublishersWkly]

Jamaica Kincaid knew only one artist could capture the mischievous spirit of her new children’s book. So she cold-emailed Kara Walker | @harpersbazaarus https://t.co/xPcPJlGOiP
