Acquisitions:

Kaitlyn says: I represent all ages of kidlit from board book through young adult. The stories I like to acquire range from emotional to funny. I also look for diversity all in forms, including, but not limited to, BIPOC, neurodiversity, and LGBTQ+.

For picture books, I enjoy all formats from character-driven to concept. I connect with lyrical writing (rhyme and non-rhyme) just as much as funny. I also enjoy nonfiction STEAM books and picture book biographies.

For novels, I lean towards historical fiction, mysteries, magical realism, humorous, and friendships stories. I also love author-illustrated graphic novels.
