The Cybils Awards

I am excited to announce that I am a #Cybils2019 Judge for Round 2. In January, I will be part of a panel that judges finalists in the Easy Reader  and Early Chapter Book category.

A little trivia: I was a Round 1 judge in this very same category back in 2010, my very first introduction to the Cybils Awards.
