I sat down today to write about hope, but the truth is that we live in a fractured and fragile time, and it can be hard to feel hopeful, even with regard to children’s literature. Here, where I sit in Atlanta, Georgia, the state legislature is poised to curtail and defund the American Library Association, while so many of our best-loved books are being censored nationwide.

Illustrations (c) 2024 by Lynne Rae Perkins. Being a fine arts major at a large public university opened my ­small-town mind to a myriad of ideas, in a myriad of ways. And I loved it. My ­education there was not particularly strong on how to survive after ­college. Which I truly believe, in a way, is okay. I am not a proponent of let’s-turn-colleges-­into-widget-makers. Still, a few tips would have been helpful. I graduated with high honors, woefully unqualified to do much of anything.

Happy Anniversary, Horn Book! It’s been pure joy to watch you grow over the years. I read you voraciously as I honed my writing craft. And now I jump for joy to see my books so thoughtfully reviewed by you. I learned so much from you as an aspiring kidlit author. I would pore over your magazine to read the reviews, which were so carefully and professionally done, helping me to become a better writer though I didn’t even know it at the time.
