The author's Horn Book (and other) treasures. Photo: Celia C. Pérez. I keep a storage bin filled with ephemera from my writing life. It is a treasure chest of memories that includes everything from conference badges, event programs, and T-shirts from schools I’ve visited to letters and artwork I have received from readers. Among those items, I have tucked away issues of The Horn Book Magazine. They are the issues in which my books were reviewed or recognized in the annual Fanfare list.
