Junior Library Guild

I recently received word that my book for Capstone Press, MEXICAN IMMIGRANTS IN AMERICA, will be a Junior Library Guild Premier Selection for the fall.

I got the email when I was busy and just glanced at it. As I'm pretty new to the children's nonfiction world, I didn't really know what the Junior Library Guild was. This morning, I had a little more time to investigate, and I think it's kind of a big deal! A selection committee reviews more than 3,000 books, and 336 make the final cut.

You can find more information about the JLG here.
