I’m SO thrilled that I’LL GO AND COME BACK has won the 2023 Massachusetts Book Award in the Picture Book/Early Readers category!
This book is so close to my heart and was inspired by my relationship with my grandmother. It’s a story about love that grows despite distance, and how we don’t have to say goodbye, but rather leave each other with the promise of return.
Congratulations to Christine McDonnell and Maya Tatsukawa on their beautiful Honor books!
Huge thanks to Massachusetts Center for the Book and Candlewick Press!
I’m looking forward to the awards ceremony at the Massachusetts State House next month!
