I am overcome with happiness about this year's winners of the #ALAyma awards including #Caldecott and #Newbery awards for outstanding contributions to #kidlit

Renée Watson wins the Newbery! She is a treasure and so is this book. I just gifted it to a young reader friend. It's a book in verse, so accessible, about grief.

Cover of a picture book, FIREWORKS, by Matthew Burgess and Catia Chien.
The last time I felt CERTAIN a book needed to win a medal it was @rebstead.bsky.social's When You Reach Me. Why does it feel so very wonderful when the right book wins? As if the world is aligned for a moment.
Catia Chien is a magical genius, and when I picked up Fireworks I was gobsmacked. Huzzah!
