Nikki Grimes’s anthology appearances include three multi-author collections published between 2007 and 2025. These are collaborative volumes where her work appears alongside contributions from other writers, each organized around a specific theme.
First Kiss: True Lip-Locked Moments (2007) collects poems about first love. Amazing Faces (2010) gathers poetry celebrating diversity and identity. Banned Together (2025) addresses the topic of book banning and censorship, a subject of increasing relevance in children’s publishing. Together, the three anthologies show Grimes participating in broader conversations within the literary community.
