I am pleased to share the news that June's friends and colleagues have just released *All-of-a-Kind: Remembering June Cummins*, edited by Michael Joseph, Joseph T. Thomas, Jr. and Lissa Paul. You can find the book by searching June’s name -- first and last -- in the Amazon search bar, or by following this link: https://www.amazon.com/All-Kind-Remembering-June-Cummins/dp/B08KSDRD2K/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=june+cummins&qid=1602538567&sr=8-1
Here is a brief description: Admired for her scholarship, mentorship and friendship, the collection of essays—and a poem by Katie Strode—assembled in June’s honour demonstrates how much she was loved, and how much she is missed. Based on a series of memorial talks organized by Joseph at San Diego State University in the spring on 2019 (a little more than a year after June’s death at fifty-four from ALS in February 2018), the book also contains one of June’s lively, astute essays on Sydney Taylor’s All-of-a-Kind books, and an essay by Alexandra Dunietz who worked with June on her final project, her biography of Sydney Taylor, *From Sarah To Sydney*, to be published by Yale UP. With its inspiriting cover art by Barbara Henry, the book keeps June present in our minds and hearts.
