March 12, 2023 by Colby Sharp   Leave a Comment

COLBY: Have you read the 2023 Newbery Medal winning book Freewater? Amina Luqman-Dawson’s book is unforgettable. As soon as I finished reading the book, I knew that we had to have her on The Yarn. A HUGE thank you to Victoria Stapleton and Little Brown Books for Young Readers for making this interview happen. I hope you enjoy listening to this episode of The Yarn!
