This Promise of Change: Jo Ann Allen Boyce and Debbie Levy's 2019 BGHB Nonfiction Award Speech
Co-authors Jo Ann Allen Boyce and Debbie Levy delivered their acceptance remarks as a conversation. JO ANN ALLEN BOYCE: Thank you.

Nine Months: Illustrator Jason Chin's 2019 BGHB Nonfiction Honor Speech
When our editor, Neal Porter, came to me with this manuscript a few years ago, I was very excited because it was by Miranda Paul. I read it, and it was terrific. I was all ready to sign up, but then I got scared. I thought, How the heck am I...
Nine Months: Author Miranda Paul's 2019 BGHB Nonfiction Honor Speech
Thank you for honoring Nine Months. (It’s a risky thing to tell your agent and editor you want to write a children’s book, intended for the trade market and aimed at three-to-six-year-olds, on the topic of fetal development.)

On the Come Up: Angie Thomas's 2019 BGHB Fiction and Poetry Honor Speech
Friends, homies, and everything in between, I am so sorry that I cannot be there with you tonight. When I got the news that On the Come Up was a Boston Globe–Horn Book honoree, I was stunned. Yes, even after everything I’ve experienced, I still get stunned. The last time I saw...
Darius the Great Is Not Okay: Adib Khorram's 2019 BGHB Fiction and Poetry Honor Speech
It’s a little surreal to be up here. If you had told me a year ago that a book about a nerdy, depressed, tea-loving, Star Trek–obsessed teenager would win this honor, I would have asked for a glass of whatever you were drinking. As I think of the young readers who...
