"It's an enormous honor to stand before you and to speak with so many people in the bookselling community.... I've always felt that sense of not fitting in places. And I think the interesting thing for me since entering the kid lit community has been the fact that I am entering a community.... I had never really realized that writing for kids meant joining a group of people who were all dedicated to the same purpose, which is getting books into the hands of young readers.... It's just a tremendous privilege to have a team, to have people who are connecting my books with people who are going to read them. And it's an honor for people to think that my book is something that would mean something to a kid who might want to read it. So I just wanted to say thank you for all of that."
