I explained what I loved about The Mirror Season and why I think it deserves to win the California Book Award in my response.

Do you like Anna-Marie McLemore? Do you like the Mirror Season? Well here, I made a book sleeve about the Mirror Season.

Through this piece, I wanted to describe the main themes of the book through it. The underside of the table is Yevgeny's safe place, where he can draw about what he thinks about, but outside is the societal pressures of living in Soviet Russia.

Talent means freedom, Yevgeny was…average. He wasn't the star athlete or dancer his parents wanted. But he had a pencil, imagination, a stolen pencil, and an old table as a canvas. His story is filled with humor, self-discovery, and above all-- hope.

I chose "Instructions For Dancing" By Nicola Yoon to win the California Book Award due to its gut-wrenching emotions and interesting plot. I created a poster that explains the amazing qualities of this book and the way it makes readers truly feel.

In this video I answered the question, why does this book deserve to win, and I did it in a creative way with many transitions, also at the end I made a poster to promote the book.
