I'm thrilled to receive the generous support of the Associates of the Boston Public Library to work on my novel this year, as Writer-in-Residence at the Boston Public Library. See the announcement here.
Many thanks to all who attended the virtual reception, where I read from my manuscript. If you missed it, you can watch the recording here.
Read my article on We Are Water Protectors, one of this year's most stunning picture books.

If you work with teens, consider reading Punching the Air with them this year.
