How I missed this is probably because I am still in a Covid fog and just…the ridiculous nonsense of life? But even late, I need to express my sincere gratitude. What an honor for WHAT I CARRY to be nominated for the Georgia Peach Book Award! A reader-voted award, the very deserving winner this year is Elizabeth Acevedo’s gorgeous WITH THE FIRE ON HIGH. Thank you so much for the book love, Georgia! And huge congratulations to Elizabeth Acevedo, an incredible author of books I, and so many readers, adore. Happy Autumn, everyone! I love you Georgia readers, librarians and teachers! XO
