Wow!  CBS News did a short segment on African American storytelling with various artists of great renown, and 3 of the people they interviewed are authors of award-winning books for youth!  Check it out and see Jason Reynolds, Representative John Lewis, and National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature Jacqueline Woodson saying smart and beautiful things.
