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)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: To give editors a chance to evaluate PamD's findings and changes, as the pro-delete comments came prior to that.
 * Delete not enough sources to show notability.John Pack Lambert (talk) 21:30, 4 March 2020 (UTC)
 * 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)
 * 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. Pam  D  11:21, 5 March 2020 (UTC)

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.
