Include Your Book in the BAS Summer Children's Reading List

[Diane]

Summer is just about here and children everywhere will cherish their school-free days. It's the perfect time to introduce them to new reading. We are creating the Black Author Showcase Members Summer Reading List for children.
As a BAS member, you can list your book here using the following template:

*Age group or grade level
*Title
*Author
*Publisher
*ISBN
*Short description (under 50 words)
*Cover Art (you can attach this in your comment)

When we have a substantial sized list (deadline June 21st), the list will become a pdf to be publicized and shared across the 'net and placed in the Reader's Resource section of our Articles forum.
Summer is short, so please add your books today. The highest age level should be 13 years old (8th grade).
WE ARE LOOKING FOR CHILDREN'S BOOKS. IT MUST BE TARGETED TO CHILDREN.
This list will only contain BAS member titles.

Grade level? Remember, this is going out to librarians, parents, and teachers and must be extremely age appropriate. This seems like an adult level book.
