Laurent Linn presents the Golden Kite Award for Picture Book Illustration to Kenard Pak

Kenard Pak gave a delightfully fun and funny acceptance speech for his charming picture book, GOODBYE AUTUMN, HELLO WINTER, which, lucky you! Is a follow up to GOODBYE SUMMER, HELLO AUTUMN.

He'd like to thank his art director April Ward, his editor Laura Godwin, his agent Kirsten Hall, editor Sally Doherty, and his wife Jenn.

SCBWI will be putting the acceptance speeches up online on the scbwi website so you'll get to to see everyone accepting next week!
