Ode to a Bad Day: Hyewon Yum's 2024 BGHB Picture Book Honor Speech

My sincere thanks to the Boston Globe–Horn Book Awards committee for this honor.

When the award was announced in June, the news of this recognition spread to Korea, and my picture was in the newspaper my parents read. So my father, who hadn’t really read a single picture book in his life, opened this book and read it. It’s heartwarming to share what I love, especially with my loved ones. Luckily, I love picture books, and I can share this love with my kids and now with my father.
