It means those with vision impairments can hear Emmanuel’s inspiring story of social action. Having an Emmanuel’s Dream audiobook edition means more access for more people. That still left some readers out, sadly, and I’ve been dreaming of an audiobook ever since. Emmanuel’s Dream was awarded the 2016 American Library Association’s Schneider Family Book Award for embodying “an artistic expression of the disability experience for child and adolescent audiences.” One of the things that moved me most about winning the award was learning that it meant that a braille edition of Emmanuel’s Dream would be released. The second reason, however, is far more important. □ So trust me when I say that having one of my books be made into an audiobook makes me squeal for joy and bust out my happy dance! I have some great news to share today! I’m thrilled to announce that Listening Library at Penguin Random House Audio will be producing an Emmanuel’s Dream audiobook edition!! This is super exciting to me for two reasons:įirst, I love listening to audiobooks! I listen when I’m walking the dog, driving, doing housework, basically anytime it isn’t practical to have my nose in a book.
