This has been a wild day. I will hopefully have more words to describe what I’m feeling, but just know I am so grateful and honored to receive these HUGE awards for BIG. Thank you to all of the incredible librarians at the @americanlibraryassociation for the work you do! Thank you to the Coretta Scott King committee for selecting me for both the illustrator honor and author honor! Thank you to the Randolph Caldecott committee for selecting Big for the Caldecott Medal! I never in my wild at dreams thought this was possible. While this seems crazy to hear I am the FIRST Black Woman to receive the Caldecott Medal. While there are many who should have been celebrated in the past, I only wish to see more of us in the future! Thank you to @oge_mora @ekuaholmes and @faithringgold for paving the way with their Caldecott Honors!
Thank you so much to everyone who has loved and supported this book from the very beginning!
Thank you @carriehglit @hgliterary @farrinj @d_cappy @nyamekyew @littlebrownyoungreaders @viklets @pt.arts Mary McCue Megan Tingley and @carolinedelasun
Thank you to all of the folks who read Big in its earliest stages and gave me notes and feedback and advice and moral support! @harlemportland @vanessabrantleynewton @andreabeatyauthor @mattdelapena @suzannekaufman
More soon!

I am once again asking for your help. Please save and share this video to see if it breaks through the algorithm! M*ta really is the worst. But apparently if you get enough saves and shares within a 10% test group your actual followers might actually get to see your posts.

Genuinely think Meta does not want me to promote my new book unless I pay for it. Only like 200 people have seen my posts for the last month.
Here’s a photo of me and Sky to test the algorithm.
Please consider buying a copy or 5 of That You Are Here is No Small Thing to give away. Linkinbio

Excited to announce my first guests on season 5 of the new Black Creators Series™ - Traci N. Todd and Vashti Harrison!
I could wax poetic all day long about That You Are Here Is No Small Thing. Recently, I read this book aloud to a room of California educators and librarians. I almost didn’t get to the professional development I’d planned because there’s just so much to savor and celebrate about this book.
I’ll let you know exactly when the episode drops. Trust me - you won’t want to miss a moment of this transformative discussion.
