The Newbery Medal is officially on the cover! As a child, I loved going to the North Portland Library with my mother to check out books. I always wanted the “sticker books” because I thought there must be something so special about them to earn those round, shiny stickers. It is beyond special to me that today, I placed the Newbery Medal on All the Blues in the Sky. What a beautiful, full-circle moment. Dear Mommy, your baby girl has her own “sticker book” now! | Renee Watson
