I was honored and thrilled to attend the 2022 Walter Dean Myers Awards for Outstanding Children’s Literature at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial Library in Washington, DC on June 23! After a wonderful panel featuring Honorees Kekla Magoon, Eden Royce, and Natasha Donovan, Grace Lin introduced the winners in the Young Readers and Teen categories, presented the awards, and introduced speakers Angelline Bouley . . . and me! Great news: I made it through my speech! You can see the whole awards ceremony, including my speech, below. Huge congratulations to all the honorees and winners!
