I'd particularly like to see more thrillers of all sorts featuring BIPOC protagonists. (I have asked for this in the past and received great submissions, and I cannot wait to see even more.) #MSWL

I'd really like to acquire a children's book that explores a theological concept or aspect of who God is from a BIPOC author with a progressive Christian perspective. Throwing this out into the wind to see what comes back. Thread of books w/ similar themes below. #MSWL
