The 2026 Youth Media Awards were announced in Chicago yesterday and I am very happy to say that TWO former students won awards!
@ Wanda Hears the Stars: A Blind Astronomer Listens to the Universe written by former student Amy S. Hansen (shared on the blog on September 29) won the Schneider Family Book Award.
@ Alberto Salas Plays Paka Paka con la Papa: Join the Quest with Peru’s Famed Scientist and Potato Expert illustrated by former student Juana Martinez-Neal (shared on the blog on September 24) won the Sibert Medal.
Congratulations Amy and Juana!!!
