The Golden Poppy Awards Wildfire Fundraiser for Binc: Help SoCal Booksellers Rebuild
The Golden Poppy Awards celebrate California authors and illustrators. We couldn't celebrate our state's amazing creators without acknowledging the tragic effect the wildfires in Southern California have had on our bookstore members and their communities. Therefore, we are partnering with The BINC Foundation to help California booksellers affected by the fires rebuild, heal, and move forward.
