Just As It Is! deserves Hair Like Mine-level reach.

Both authors have a Knowledge Panel labelled "Author". Perry's is far richer: a Books carousel with her whole series, read-aloud videos, and a Goodreads card showing 9 books and 1,900 ratings. Janice's panel shows one book and no videos.

Hair Like Mine gets an AI Overview, a 4.5/5 Goodreads rating, "Read now" buttons for Barnes & Noble and Kobo, a library search and a row of read-aloud videos. Just As It Is! has none of these, and Google lists its details incorrectly.

This is Janice's clear advantage. janicekenyatta.com is live, personal and sells books, the Abena doll and the puzzle directly. Perry's listed website, 4kidslikemine.com, is currently not connected to a site. Even so, Perry outsells Janice — proof that her Amazon and Google presence do the selling.

Perry's Author Store shows 13 titles with 2,589 ratings on her flagship, an Amazon Kids+ Kindle edition and a Spanish edition. Janice's store is set up well but its "Most popular" slot is not her picture book.
