Yesterday's 24th Annual Book Awards Ceremony was filled with amazing authors, poets, and illustrators, but the fashion awards for book themed attire go to: Frederico Erebia, Crystal Maldonado @crystalwrote ,and Kate Fussner @katefussner!
This is a fun photo with Crystal Maldonado and Kate Fussner.
It celebrates "book fashion," with my PEDRO & DANIEL blazer and their book dresses. Unfortunately, you can't see Kate's book is printed on her purse!
So cool to be in an article with @RyanSeacrest and @ambsmcbride

As an author, I write stories to spark curiosity, challenge perspectives, and connect with readers on a deeper level. But when books are banned, something precious is taken from all of us.
