I’m amazed. And overwhelmed. And filled with gratitude. Endless gratitude.

And I’m thinking about all my relatives, near and far. I hope they’re proud of me. I hope they know that I strive to tell these stories in a good way. That I just want to lift kids up. #alaYMA #AIYLA

I am so honored, thrilled and overjoyed that The Passover Guest has WON the Sydney Taylor Book Award.

It means more than I can possibly put into words.

Thank you to the STBA committee and thank you to @JewishLibraries

Thank you to every reader of this book. https://t.co/7mPhq3Ht9t

This is the face of a very happy author. Thank you to the Stonewall award committee for this honor for The Darkness Outside Us – and thanks to the centuries of queer writers who worked in obscurity, cracking open a door that is wider now than it has ever been now. #alayma pic.twitter.com/h9N3Ig8Yp0

Look, you win a big award at #alayma22, and the paparazzi will COME FOR YOU!

Thank you Sibert Award committee for recognizing The Great Stink. Poop jokes aside, the story of Bazalgette is about human ingenuity in the face of dangerous environmental threats. Working on a book about a pandemic during a pandemic turned out to be improbably cathartic. pic.twitter.com/LWIlZluRYP

I have pinched myself, squeezed my eyes super tight, and it's all still real life! What a day! Taking a minute to digest over here. 😭 @ALALibrary @LevineQuerido @StimolaLiterary https://t.co/pG3bA04ImR

Yesterday was the excitement of #alayma22, which means today it’s time for… EXTREME CALDECOTT PLACEMENT, aka why stop at putting these shiny stickers on the cover when you could put them inside the book too! 😉 @wearealsc #ExtremeCaldecottPlacement https://t.co/ZSb4iqmoK0
