Her debut children’s stories, Handsome Me and Beautiful Me, are targeted to African-American children in elementary school and are inspired by real-life experiences from the author’s youth growing up in Harlem, New York.

These vibrantly illustrated companion books take each child on an entertaining and educational journey of understanding that helps to build self-esteem and positive images. Handsome Me and Beautiful Me, set in present day Harlem, tell of Trevor and Shanika as they learn to cope when their self-esteem is tested, and also learn that they have unshakable confidence. Young boys and girls will find both stories amusing and reassuring as they learn to develop and cultivate their own self-esteem.

Accomplished London-based artist, John Higgins, colorfully captures Thomas’ children’s stories with his vivid illustrations. A combination of uplifting storytelling and vibrant illustrations create enjoyable family books and wonderful additions to any library.

Ms. Thomas still resides in Harlem where she is hard at work on future children’s stories.
