THANK YOU for helping us #CelebrateJackie!

As we mentioned on Twitter yesterday evening your overwhelming support on Friday lead to the full $100,000 match in donations from Daniel Handler to our #SupportWNDB campaign to celebrate jacquelinewoodson and her breathtaking work because it means so much to all of us.

Daniel Handler has confirmed he’ll be sending a check for $110,000 on Monday.

Thank you all so much for spreading the word and donating (and donating again)! We believe so much in our mission to celebrate diversity and diverse artists in publishing and glad you believe in it too.
