Everyone needs to spend a full day off at City Park in NOLA! (Took a day off after #LibLearnx23 to explore the town)

It’s up 🥂 #LibLearnX23

What a great day for books, especially diverse books (and watching so many friends receiving accolades will never not be incredible!)
#liblearnx23 was a great for me, too - how positively surreal it was seeing my book!
Thanks to everyone who sent me pics!

So much to process, so much to share...but for now, glad, happy and proud of our 2023 Pura Belpré Awards choices. Celebrating, amplifying, centering and recognizing the existences and resistances of our communities and peoples. #LibLearnX23 #alayma

Beyond thrilled. Thank you, APALA and American Library Association!!!! 🥰❤️❤️

Clint Smith at #LibLearnX23 is sharing pure brilliance on American Library Association LLX Studio Stage: “We don’t often talk about plantations in terms of what they were. They were places of physical & psychological torture for enslaved people.” #librarytwitter

We're ready! Are you? #LibLearnX23 #ALAYMA

Last weekend I was able to meet lots of librarians at #LibLearnX23 in New Orleans.
I am so grateful to Reycraft Books for sending me to such a historically-rich city.
If you snagged a signed copy of any of my books, I'd love to see them in action. #KidsLoveNonfiction
