Where Only Storms Grow has been selected as a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection! This is the first time in my career and I am deeply honored by this distinction. Thank you so much to the Junior Library Guild! Books bearing their gold seal will be distributed to over a thousand libraries around the country. I'm delighted that the Stanton family's story will reach more readers thanks to them!

VAASL (Virginia Association of School Librarians) Annual Conference

11/8/2024

 

Librarians truly are amazing. I left this conference feeling energized and hopeful. There was so much empathy, love, and kindness all around. I met some wonderful educators and can't wait to connect with you all soon! I also loved spending time with my fellow Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators members. They are not only a lot of fun but are also some of the hardest working people that I know! 

Fellow Wake Forest University alumni and friend, L.M. Elliott, was also presenting at the conference. What a joy to catch up with her and celebrate her wonderful book, BEA AND THE NEW DEAL HORSE which is now out in paperback!
