Exclusive Cover Reveal + Giveaway: ORDINARY HAZARDS by Nikki Grimes
I’ve done a number of cover reveals here over the years, but today is something a bit different. Dare I say an innovation in the realm of cover reveals!
Today we are revealing a cover online, just as it is being revealed in the real world in Seattle at the American Library Association Midwinter.

I am a huge fan of Nikki’s work so I can’t wait to read this!
I am a huge fan of poetry and verse novels, and Nikki Grimes is one of the best and most prolific children’s/ya poets out there. We were fortunate enough to have her visit our school this fall. I am beyond excited to read Nikki’s verse memoir–I have no doubt it will be fabulous. And what a cover! Absolutely gorgeous.
I would love to get an early copy. Nikki gave me a sneak peek back when she visited our area around Halloween. I simply cannot wait to read this.
