This year, all three speeches were awesome: Donna Barba Higuera (who won the Newbery Medal for "The Last Cuentista"); Jason Chin (who won the Caldecott Medal for his illustrations for "Watercress" by Andrea Wang; and Grace Lin, who won the Children's Literature Legacy Award - once they're uploaded, you should be able to listen to the speeches here: https://www.ala.org/alsc/awardsgrants/bookmedia/NCWBanquetRecordings
One highlight:
“It is our books that tell them who the heroes are and who they can be.”
—Grace Lin
Enjoy!
Illustrate, Translate, and Write On,
