edit data

J.H. Diehl's middle grade novel Tiny Infinities was named a Bank Street College of Education Best Children's Book of the Year, a Junior Library Guild Gold Selection, and a Mighty Girl Book of the Year. Woman's Day included Tiny Infinities in its "40 Summer Beach Reads You Won't Be Able To Put Down."
