NPL Literary Award Weekend 2023: Public Lecture featuring Kate DiCamillo

For the first time in the Literary Award’s 19-year history, we will honor an author known for her groundbreaking work specifically within the children’s literature genre, though her impact certainly transcends age limits. We are thrilled to announce that our 2023 Literary Award honoree is literary superstar, Ms. Kate DiCamillo. This fall, NPLF along with Literary Award Weekend co-chairs, Cassidy and Dierks Bentley, Johari and Lonnell Matthews, and Kristin and Carter Paine, invite patrons to celebrate with us and to rekindle the magic that exists within those first moments of reading when we fall in love with great stories. Ms. DiCamillo’s books, while created for children, consist of grand stories, beautifully written, that resonate across generations. They inspire through the triumph of love and courage, and offer something to readers of all ages, reaching for light in an often dark and challenging world. Re-uploaded from original broadcast
