I am beyond thrilled that Bank Street’s Children’s Book Committee has selected Daughters of the Lamp as one of 2025’s Best Children’s Books. This honor is especially meaningful because I spent four beautiful years as a graduate student at Bank Street’s College of Education.
Thank you to the American Library Association for selecting my debut for grades 3-5 and helping it reach more readers!
