Join LitUp 2021 for a virtual conversation with National Book Award finalist and Coretta Scott King Award winner Nicola Yoon. Yoon’s debut novel, Everything, Everything, made Yoon the first Black woman to hit #1 on the New York Times Young Adult list. Her second novel, The Sun Is Also a Star, also rocketed to the top of the New York Times bestseller list. Both novels were made into major motion pictures. At the conclusion of Yoon’s talk, the winners of the LitUp 2021 Creative Contest will be announced.
