Kwame Mbalia, BLACK BOY JOY: 17 Stories Celebrating Black Boyhood

New York Times bestselling author Kwame Mbalia returns to talk with Zibby about Black Boy Joy, the #1 bestselling anthology he edited. Kwame shares where he was when he realized he wanted to gather a number of his friends and peers to compile a middle-grade compilation celebrating Black youth and happiness, and tells Zibby about how he takes his coffee. The two also discuss the first piece of short fiction each of them ever wrote, why short stories are harder to craft than novels, and how Kwame plans to find joy each day.Purchase on Amazon or Bookshop.Amazon: https://amzn.to/3CDRsZBBookshop: https://bit.ly/3AmZgMJSubscribe to Zibby's weekly newsletter here.Purchase Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books merch here.
