A New York Times bestselling author, Grimes received the 2006 National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) Award for Excellence in Poetry for Children and the 2005 Golden Dolphin Award by the Southern California Children's Book Association, recognizing her body of work. Her best-known publications include What is Goodbye? (an ALA Notable Children’s Book), the novels Jazmin's Notebook, Dark Sons and The Road to Paris (Coretta Scott King Author Honor Books). Grimes also is creator of the popular Danitra Brown poetry series about the joys of teenage friendship.
Grimes, who was born and raised in New York City, considers herself more a poet than a storyteller. She began composing verse at the age of six and has been writing ever since. Grimes has written articles for such magazines as Essence, Today's Christian Woman, Book Links, and Image, Journal of Arts & Religion. An accomplished and widely anthologized poet of both children's and adult verse, Grimes has conducted poetry readings and lectures at international schools in Russia, China, Sweden and Tanzania; short-term mission projects have taken her to such trouble spots as Haiti.
As part of Teen Read Week, an event sponsored by the Onondaga County Public Library (OCPL), the Syracuse City School District (SCSD) and Syracuse University, Grimes met with all 1600 SCSD eighth graders to read from her work and answer questions in Hendricks Chapel before her lecture. Grimes also presented two interactive poetry sessions for Syracuse-area elementary school students in the OCPL’s Curtin Auditorium.

Author Lorene Cary discusses her first Young Adult book, FREE! , a collection of non-fiction Underground Railroad stories as compelling as the history they chronicle (Third World Press/New City Press). Cary says that she believes these twelve stories of ingenious and daring escapes 'allow our 21st-century minds to imagine actively the inner lives of enslaved people – and put ourselves in their places, not with shame, but compassion and respect.'
