Mvto, thank you for the honor of this recognition, for a book that has meant so much to so many long before it was a book. The poem “Remember” was one of my earliest poems, written because we needed to remember what matters, where we come from, and how we are all connected. It has traveled extensively since it emerged into this world and is now on the Lucy spacecraft headed toward Jupiter’s orbit.

Thank you to the Horn Book, the Boston Globe, and the awards selection committee for this tremendous honor. I didn’t set out to write a book about swimming. Its seeds were planted over a particular period of time — namely, the spring and summer of 2020 — when everything around me seemed newly foreign and not to be taken for granted. I took particular solace in nature, collecting observations and imagery whenever I could be out in it.

“In the great green room / there was a telephone /and a red balloon...”“The night Max wore his wolf suit andmade mischief of one kind / and another...”“I went all the way to Africa / in a dream one night /I crossed over the ocean / in a slow, smooth jump...”“Water is the first medicine, Nokomis told me.”These are some very notable picture-book beginnings. The Horn Book Magazine’s own very notable beginning came one hundred years ago, in 1924 Boston.
