Lulu and Milagro is a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard pick!

Lulu and Milagro is a Junior Library Guild Gold Standard pick! The Junior Library Guild is a library organization that gets books in the hands of librarians across the country, and I’m so grateful for this honor!

This means so much to me, especially when I think about the sheer number of hours I’ve spent in the library. My sister and I would get dropped off at the library after the school, and we’d spend hours reading and quietly doing homework until our parents got off work. It felt magical – I could read any book I wanted (mostly Sweet Valley High spinoffs) and I always had first dibs on the newest releases. I wish I could go back and tell my younger self that one day, I’d get to see my own book on the shelves.
