The Yarn LIVE with the 2025 Newbery Winners! (Part I)

Travis: This one was a lot of fun.
At the end of June I moderated a panel of the 2025 Newbery winners (Ruth Behar, Chanel Miller, Lesa Cline-Ransome, Kate O’Shaughnessy, and Erin Entrada Kelly) at the ALA Annual Conference in Philadelphia.
Our conversation touches on a bunch of different topics, including getting “The Call” from the Newbery committee, and advice they have for aspiring writers.
We hope you enjoy this episode:
