Renée Watson was in conversation with Jason Reynolds (who recently won the 2025 Coretta Scott King Author Award) for the launch of her middle-grade novel All the Blues in the Sky (Bloomsbury) at Recirculation, a Word Up Community Bookshop project in New York City’s Washington Heights neighborhood. With a lively and engaged crowd, Watson read excerpts from the book and discussed craft, creativity, and writing with care for young people on the themes of grief and change. (photo: Emmanuel Abreu)
