Here are the winners of the 2022 Youth Media Awards, announced during a virtual ceremony at ALA's LibLearnX.

Chin's watercolor illustrations of Andrea Wang's personal text about a Chinese immigrant family picking watercress by an Ohio roadside earned the prestigious award.

Higuera's novel, which combines Mexican American folklore with science fiction, earned her the 100th Newbery Medal and the Pura Belpré Youth Author Award.

The Native American author had the idea for Firekeeper's Daughter, a modern-day thriller, nearly 40 years ago.

Donna Barba Higuera's Newbery win was just one of multiple awards for her novel, while Watercress, Firekeeper's Daughter, Unspeakable, and Last Night at the Telegraph Club also had a big day at the 2022 Youth Media Awards.
