Newbery Medal Winners Jerry Craft and Kwame Alexander Embark on National Book Tour

May 8, 2025 by Angelica Medina

Award-winning author, illustrator and Lake Nona resident, Jerry Craft has announced an exciting nationwide book signing tour alongside fellow Newbery Medalist, Kwame Alexander. The groundbreaking event celebrates their latest collaboration—a children’s book that marks the first-ever created by two Newbery-winning authors.

The tour will conclude with a special appearance at Barnes & Noble Colonial in Orlando, FL, on May 22 at 6 PM. Fans will have the opportunity to meet both literary icons, get books signed, and celebrate a historic moment in children’s literature.

Jerry Craft, known for his acclaimed graphic novels New Kid and Class Act, has long been a trailblazer in middle-grade fiction, combining authentic storytelling with powerful illustrations. More about Jerry and his work can be found at www.jerrycraft.com.
