At the 2018 Nerd Camp in Parma, MI, Meg Medina handed me an ARC of Merci Suárez Changes Gears. It has been such a JOY watching her journey this year. I so wish I could have been in the room as she accepted the prestigious Newbery Medal at #alaac19.
But you'd better believe I was following the tweets from Washington, DC, and I’ll be waiting eagerly for that inspiring speech to land online.
And also, I love the thought of an author out there with a pile of ARCs and a heart filled with hopes who will be giving this speech in 2020.
