The Award

Jacqueline Woodson just won the National Book Award for Brown Girl Dreaming.  Why haven't I bought that book yet?  I'll take care of that situation, post haste.  This author's been part of our house for a lot of years because 20 Something read If You Come Softly many years ago and made us aware that this author's important work was a life changing reading experience.  Congratulations to Ms. Woodson and thanks for all the great books.

Ms. Woodson had drinks with her pals just a couple tables away from us last week at NCTE. We clapped when she walked by. Because we didn't know what else to do and we love her.
