Her book Grandma's Tiny House (Charlesbridge, 2017) received a starred review from Publishers Weekly.[3] In 2021, following the announcement that certain Dr. Seuss books would no longer be republished due to how certain groups were depicted, Stephen Colbert recommended Brown-Wood's book Imani's Moon (Charlesbridge, 2014) on The Colbert Report, asking the audience to "consider these books from people of color".[4]

Why Not You? (Random House, 2022), which Brown-Wood wrote with Ciara and Russell Wilson, received a starred review from School Library Journal.[5] It was a New York Times bestseller.[6]
