I don’t have much time this morning, but I wanted to post a quick video from last night. This is for Kate Messner, who couldn’t be here at BEA because she is a dedicated teacher and she is teaching this week.
That did not stop her book, The Brilliant Fall of Gianna Z, from winning a big honking award last night.
