I'm humbled and honored our Gordon Parks children's book won the NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Children's Literary Work!  Heartfelt thanks to the NAACP and members for this wonderful distinction and for bringing attention to Gordon Parks' inspiring story.  It's been such an incredible journey sharing Gordon Parks' story,  I never expected this opportunity, so grateful!  Thanks everyone for your support!
