I’m home after a whirlwind 3 days in Chicago for the American Library Association (ALA) annual conference where I saw exactly one sight (the bean, on my walk to a luncheon). Instead of sight seeing, I reveled in the joy that is found with people of the book. I signed for three of my books (Super Boba Café, Shark Party and Strong) and attended events in between.
Beautiful. So happy to hear about your experience getting the Stonewall Award. Glad all of this got you energized to make more amazing books.
This event sounds like such a dream. Major congrats on the award; that is so wonderful!
