In a charming new chapter-book series by a social-change advocate, young Frankie emulates her journalist mama by reporting on household news with the help of her sister and an unlikely news crew.
Frankie's mama is leaving to cover a breaking news story. Frankie, Papa and Frankie's teenage sister, Raven, are all proud of Mama, even though they miss her when she's away. But Frankie has a great idea: she can make her own news show! After all, Mama has told her that news is happening around her all the time.
With a little assistance from her friends - including her doll Farrah, Robert the toy robot, and her tabby cat, Nina Simone - Frankie prepares for her first "broadcast". And when she hears someone crying in the house, she knows that's the developing story she must cover.
With sweet illustrations throughout, this engaging new series embraces communication and compassion and is a refreshing portrayal of Black women in journalism.
