Outgoing Austin SCBWI RA Debbie Dunn was kind enough to send me an article “Connecting The World: Creating Ethnic Fiction for Today’s Young Readers” by Judy Bradley from the October 2004 issue of Children’s Writer: Newsletter of Writing And Publishing Trends.

In a gray box titled “Reading The World,” the author recommends the works of Walter Dean Myers, Allen Say, Cynthia Leitich Smith, and Jacqueline Woodson. Talk about good company! I’m honored.
