Camacho-Church shared with CoastTV News what this moment means to her.
"It's actually a dream come true because to be able to talk to children about books that I have written, it's an inspiration for them, and it gives me the energy to continue writing, to continue going out and spreading the word, and hopefully, children will get so inspired and like, not just as an author, but to read," she said.
