I am overjoyed to say WHAT I CARRY has been named a TAYSHAS Top Ten Title for 2022! This list, chosen annually by the Texas Library Association, is developed by public and school librarians in Texas to motivate young adults in grades 9-12 to explore a variety of current books. Top Ten Titles are voted unanimously by the pannel in the first round, which is bananas becuase look at the amazing books in the top ten - I am so overwhlemed and grateful to be included with authors I admire so much. Thank you, Texas librarians and readers, and fellow authors. You are all my heroes.
