Summary
For ten-year-old Cadence Jolly, birthdays are a constant reminder of all that has changed since her mother skipped town with dreams of becoming a star. Cadence inherited that musical soul, she can’t deny it, but otherwise she couldn’t be more different - she’s shy as can be.

Critics Review
Praise for President of the Whole Sixth Grade: A Children’s Indie Next pick
“Winston’s humorous prose captures the spirited preteen voice of an honors student with sass, quick wit, and great ideas… A whip-smart, funny, and fast-paced outing equally suited to returning fans and readers who are just meeting Brianna for the first time.” –Kirkus Reviews
“Brianna’s determination and follow-through make her a great role model, but the true value here is the very real depiction of the ebb and flow of middle-school friendships and the difficulties that come with growing up. An important resource for anyone who’s ever been in Brianna’s shoes.” –Booklist
“The Sweetest Sound is a gorgeous song of a book - a story about faith, confidence, finding your voice, and singing out loud to lift up the people around you. I only wish I could hear Cadence Mariah Jolly sing for real. She’s a character who will stay with me for a long, long time.”–Kate Messner, author of The Seventh Wish and All the Answers“[T]his book – much like Cadence – absolutely blossoms.”–Booklist”[A] rich and winning first-person story about a deeply introverted black girl who nearly loses her gift because of her understandable but undermining fear. Readers will be rooting for both Cadence as she claims her gift and the community who supports her.”–Kirkus ReviewsAbout The Author
