Lots of books, lots of pine trees
I’m just back from the Northern Arizona Book Festival in Flagstaff. On Friday, I spoke at the Young Authors Conference at Northern Arizona University, along with Sylvester Allred, Monica Brown, Jesse Hummingbird, Diane Iverson, Robert Mesta, and Tony Norris.
Then on Saturday, I was privileged to be in the audience when Veronica Tsinajinnie received the Lacapa Spirit Prize for her picture book, Jóhonaa’éí: Bringer of Dawn, illustrated by Ryan Singer, and published by Salina Bookshelf, Inc. She choked up, and had a hard time getting the words out as she told how much the award meant to her, and thanked everyone who had helped her along the way.
Naturally, I have my very own autographed copy!
