A few days have passed since Sacha Lamb learned their debut novel When the Angels Left the Old Country was a 2023 Printz Award honor title, as well as the winner in the YA categories of the Stonewall Awards and the Sydney Taylor Book Awards. “Each of them is amazing, but I have emotional connections in different ways to both the Sydney Taylor and to the Stonewall,” they said. “It’s very important because there’s so much false information about Jews in the world,” Lamb said of the recognition of Jewish books. “People saying they feel seen, people saying they connect to the characters,” Lamb said of the feedback.
