Shelley Diaz returns to SLJ to become reviews editor.

The award-winning author partnered with Adventure Academy, a subscription-based digital education platform, to inspire kids to write.

With the release of "Rowley Jefferson's Awesome Friendly Adventure," the best-selling author found a way to embark on an in-person tour despite the pandemic.

Many of the education and publishing events scheduled for the rest of  the year have moved online, allowing those who couldn't attend in the past a chance to experience the programs.
