Crenshaw, T. L. (2022). Stop! Act Normal! A Mother's Pandemic Memoir. A graphic novel memoir of my first two years as a working-from-home mother of a 9 year old kidlet.

Crenshaw, T. L. (2019). Picky Penny Kitten. A kitten leaves her family's home to find something to eat. She cannot hunt like a grown-up cat, but her singing catches the attention of passersby. It’s a fun book to read out loud because it offers the reader a chance to sing like a kitten. Ages 3 - 8.
