We had the best time welcoming @johnbgallagher to our school this morning. The halls have been meowing with excitement from students that believe they can create anything! Thank you for this wonderful opportunity @SykesvilleBooks !!
I just spent an hour listening to @JasonReynolds83 and @Meg_Medina and it was fabulous! He really is a great ambassador for young people's literature and I vote that the LOC gives him another year. Thank you!
