Amazing! we've def been wanting to highlight award winning books and we have such a big backlog of feature work so haven't been able to in the product yet 🥲 it's great to see people creating lists around award winners!

Of course!! It’s a goal of mine to try and read the books from the major awards (Caldecott, Newbery, Printz, Coretta Scott King, etc.) so I thought it might be fun to make some lists for them (to at least keep them all straight in my head lol)!
