I had the great honor and pleasure of attending the 2024 ALA conference and ALSC Awards ceremonies in San Diego, CA. I celebrated with old and new friends and received my first shiny book sticker for “Worm and Caterpillar are Friends.” Hooray!

Unbelievable evening celebrating the Caldecott and Newberry winners! #alaac24

2024 ALSC Awards Ceremony! Got my Geisel honor! What a pleasure to be in the same room with my writing and illustration heroes celebrating books that make a big difference in kids’ lives. Thank you to the Geisel Awards Committee and librarians everywhere who champion great books for young readers. #geiselaward #wormandcaterpillararefriends @ssedlib
