This is My Brain in Love wins the Schneider Family Book Award!

This is My Brain in Love Schneider

A wonderful thing happened yesterday! This is My Brain in Love was recognized by the American Library Association during the Youth Media Awards (basically the kidlit equivalent of the Oscars), winning the Schneider Family Book Award!

Past winners of this award, which honors “the artistic expression of the disability experience for child and adolescent audiences,” include some of my very favorite authors and people, including Jason Reynolds, Emery Lord, Elizabeth Wein, Francisco Stork, Jen Bryant,  Jordan Sonnenblick, Cynthia Lord, Brian Selznick, Wendy Mass and Sonia Sotomayor.

More to come, including the story of “The Call.”
