message: The list of works is ordered by publication year. It is now complete relative to LCCat and WorldCat for works published as by L'Ann Carwell (2) and also for titles mentioned in the text (which should always be included in such lists). In section 1 Biography, but not in the lead, I added parenthetical publication years for all works mentioned. The text might be improved by more chronological sequence.
Source Kaleidoscope 6 --now ref#4-- says that Paul Dunbar (1984) was Fredrick and Patricia's first book together, so I added his name and that qualification where we say first book with that citation. But catalog records do not support that Fredrick was a co-author. It would not anyway be their first-published book together, per catalog records that give date 1983 for Who Is Who? (also mentioned in text and now included in the list of works). 
We say "her first picture book" written was Flossie and the Fox, published 1986. The catalog records show Who Is Who? (1983) a picture book with text by Fredrick and Patricia. Flossie may have been written earlier; or written later, but her first written alone; or not "her first picture book" in any sense. We should anyway try to date the story about submission to and rejection by editor Ann Schwartz.
: The catalog records do not show Fredrick a co-writer of Who Is Who?. We previously said "Their two sons ... were the inspiration for their book Who Is Who? (1983)." --now revised to say "her book". If so, then Flossie (1986) cannot be her first-published picture book written alone, and may be her first-written picture book only if written 1983 or earlier. --P64 (talk) 14:59, 12 September 2015 (UTC)

message: We have listed "Confessions of a Cyborg (2010)", which I tagged but did not delete when I added The Clone Codes series (per ISFDB) including book 2, Cyborg (2011). --by the way, that series evidently makes this list of works complete for books by John Patrick McKissack.
google 'Confessions of a Cyborg' hits several bookseller pages that give Confessions of a Cyborg as a book title but display front cover images and perhaps supporting material for Cyborg: the second book of the Clone Codes. Exhibits: one at AbeBooks (supporting material: see Synopsis and select link ISBN-13); one at eBay.

message: i have removed the above book title from the selected books section, WorldCat shows held by only 5 libraries and displays the 2nd book in the cyborg series cover - here (with a publishing year of 2011), it also appears under this title on some seller sites but again with the 2nd book cover, so it doesn't appear to be a separate book, maybe an alternate/overseas title?
