Not notable. No significant coverage in reliable sources. Web hits amount to a few mocking blog posts and a couple of brief mentions in articles. – Jonesey95 ( talk) 17:10, 4 March 2020 (UTC) reply

• Delete not enough sources to show notability. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 21:30, 4 March 2020 (UTC) reply
• Delete as not meeting WP:AUTHOR. She is an American author, not English. There are reviews of her books at the New York Times and the Guardian, but not enough for an article. StarryGrandma ( talk) 23:21, 4 March 2020 (UTC) reply
• Keep: she is covered in both the 1999 and 1979 editions of Something About the Author (hmm, red link, might see what I can do about that), so anyone with access to either of those will be able to expand the article. I've added a couple of PW reviews and the Observer piece found by StarryGrandma, and added the Children's Literature Wikiproject banner to alert interested editors.

Help in coping: When someone dies in a road accident by Kristin Alilunas Rodgers of the Magistrates Court of the Australian Capital Territory ( here), Allina Health ( here), and the Tampa Bay Times ( here), looks like another wikinotable book; I Wish Daddy Didn't Drink So Much - Kirkus Reviews ( here), The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books ( (p.87)), Single Parent ( review listed here), has been evaluated as a part of university study ( here); My Two Uncles - The New York Times ( here), School Library Journal, and The Horn Book Magazine ( here), Booklist ( review listed here), Philadelphia Gay News ( review listed here), Lambda Book Report ( review listed here) and we have another wikinotable book.
