Thank you for this! I love her books. ROLL OF THUNDER, HEAR MY CRY is in my top five books, and it inspired me to be a writer. She is amazing.

I am SOOOO excited to have found this interview! I LOVE Sistah Taylor! She & Ms. Bev Jenkins are my FAVORITE living authors! They both tell the tales of Black Luv that are often missing on our book shelves. Ms. Jenkins is like Mildred Taylor with a li’l extry spice! THANK U! THANK U! THANK U! for this interview. I have been wondering where Ms. Taylor’s been & how she’s been. I would LOVE to see that sistah in person! As the others commented - we do indeed owe a GREAT deal of thanx to Ms. Taylor for laying the foundation!

Hi Justice. You’re never too young to be touched by something. I’ve always felt the same way about Mildred Taylor and I was about your age when I first read her work.

I second that, Kelly! This was truly an inspiring interview! Mildred Taylor really laid the foundation for all of us aspiring–as well as for many established–African-American children’s authors . . . we stand on her shoulders.

Wow this is great. I am so happy to read Ms. Taylor’s thoughts on the writing of her books and publishing in general. She is a master storyteller and every book of hers is a special one.

Great interview! The first book I read that featured an African-American child as a main character was Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry. Mildred’s work has influenced generations of writers and moved children around the world.
