At the Bologna Children's Book Fair last week, Orca Book Publishers' publisher Ruth Linka hand delivered my Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Award certificate and pin, for my translation into Spanish of Monique Gray Smith's MY HEART FILLS WITH HAPPINESS illustrated by Julie Flett.

😍😍😍

OMG!

My translation of DIFFERENT: A STORY OF THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR written by Venezuelan author Mónica Montañés & illustrated by Eva Sánchez Gómez (Eerdmans Books for Young Readers) was chosen as a Batchelder Honor Book by the American Library Association!
