Q: Which book(s) have you hand-sold the most this year?
A dark blue Q&A graphic showing two text bubbles: one question bubble from We Need Diverse Books and one answer bubble from Loyalty Books in response. WNDB’s question says, “Which book(s) have you hand-sold the most this year?” Loyalty Books response as follows: “There’s a wonderful contemporary middle grade book by Anna Lapera called ‘Mani Semilla Finds Her Quetzal Voice,’ published by Levine Querido, that’s one of my favorite kids books of the year! Mani (like the author) is Chinese-Filipino-American-Guatemalan, and is a curious, hilarious, big hearted protagonist who is finding her voice as an activist and feminist. We’ve had the pleasure of hosting the author for a few events and it’s been amazing to see how this book resonates with both kids and adults.”
