Congratulations to poet Marilyn Nelson on winning the #neustadtprize2018 for Children's Literature given by @worldlittoday. What an honor it was to attend the dinner ceremony at the @samnoblemuseum on the beautiful campus of the @uofoklahoma and watch her accept the award in person! Listening to her read the award-winning book #OstrichAndLark is a treat I'll never forget. #kidsbooks #marilynnelson
