Jas Hammonds, Anna-Marie McLemore, NoNieqa Ramos and Em Dickson joined us for a PRIDE Celebration of Stories. They had a wonderful conversation with Highlights Foundation team members Alison Green Myers and Alex Villasante about:  

• Supporting stories you love and getting those books into kids’ hands
• Their careers in the kidlit LGBTQIA+ space
• Bringing things out into the open and going “anywhere we want” in terms of genre
• Helping each other find safe spaces in publishing
• Having the wonder and freedom to write what you NEED to write
• The unique challenges of gender diverse authors in kidlit
