Middle Grade Book cover with three children and floral decorations, inspired by Wild Seed (1980).
Do you like Butler's Wild Seed but have a young reader in your life who may not be ready for that? Have them check out the Wild Seed Witch trilogy by Marti Dumas, which is inspired by Butler's 1980 novel.

Gather Me: A Memoir in Praise of the Books That Saved Me by Glory Edim
#WellReadBlackGirl
On the right side is the book cover for GATHER ME a memoir by Glory Edim. The cover is orange with the title and author name in purple text. Images with jagged edges of Glory as a child with braids and a white bow wearing a white dress, a small image of a light skinned Black boy toddler, and an image of Glory and her parents appear as a collage around the subtitle in white text: A MEMOIR IN PRAISE OF THE BOOKS THAT SAVED ME. On the left side is a full color photo of Glory Edim, a light skinned Black woman with dark brown dreadlocks wearing an orange blazer over a sleevless orange and pink dress.
Wishing #WellReadBlackGirl founder, Glory Edim, the happiest #BookBirthday! Her debut #memoir GATHER ME is out now and, as always, she put her ❤️ and soul into this one! #AltText
