Black Ballots, Broken Promises

How Black Voters Built American Democracy, and How the Playbook Keeps Trying to Erase It

From Robert Smalls sailing a Confederate warship to freedom in 1862 to the Supreme Court's 2026 ruling in Louisiana v. Callais, this is the 164-year story of the Americans who built the vote — and the playbook, refined across every generation, that keeps trying to take it back.

Seventeen chapters of narrative history, built on archival record: the faces, the documents, and the pattern you cannot unsee once you've seen it.

Pinky-Winky, Will You Be My Friend?

A Sing-Along Picture Book About Friendship, Kindness, and Asking First · Book 1

A day this sunny is too big for just one penguin! Pinky-Winky sets off with her favorite song, making friends all the way to the Magical Park — Teddy the Tiger, Bonnie the Bunny, Dolly the Duck, and Zoe the Zebra. But when she meets Bella, a butterfly too shy to say yes, she learns that real friendship means being gentle and waiting until someone is ready.

Born from a father's bedtime ritual with his daughter, with a catchy repeating song little ones learn by heart — and a tickle game that ends in laughter: Pinky-Winky-Winky!
