Walter Dean Myers - National Ambassador for Young People's Literature

Walter Dean Myers was recently announced as the National Ambassador for Young People's Literature. This is a great honor that authors have to help promote literature to and for young people. It is also, I believe, a fairly new post as I can only remember a few others such as Jon Scieszka and Lois Lowery.

Also of note, the NYTimes Article on Myers's appointment and what he will be doing for the next two years.
