Greetings, everyone. I’m delighted to be holding in my hands this shiny plate for writing When Clouds Touch Us, a novel-in-verse sequel to Inside Out & Back Again. I was an intern in 1987 at the Boston Globe. Way back then, I was already dreaming of writing fiction, and I never thought one day a Boston Globe–Horn Book Honor Award would arrive in my mail. Greetings, everyone.

Greetings! I am so thrilled to accept this honor award from the Boston Globe–Horn Book Awards Committee. It is an honor because there are so many beautiful books they could have recognized, so it’s thrilling that they’ve recognized this one. Harlem is a special place with special people and a special history, beginning with the Indigenous people who settled that land and lived on that land.
