It’s a Newbery Extravaganza! The Yarn LIVE at ALA Annual 2025

Are you attending the American Library Association Annual Conference in Philadelphia later this month? Me too. I’m looking forward to it even more than usual because of this:

I’ll be recording an episode of The Yarn podcast with all the 2025 Newbery winners: Erin Entrada Kelly (The First State of Being), Ruth Behar (Across So Many Seas), Chanel Miller (Magnolia Wu Unfolds It All), Lesa Cline-Ransome (One Big Open Sky), & Kate O’Shaughnessy (The Wrong Way Home).

It’s happening on Saturday, June 28th at 9:30am on the Real Page Turner Stage, and I’m just going to go ahead and predict it’s going to be a great time. The episode will be released in July.
Hope to see you then!
