Cool gold seal!
I used to say nothing exciting happens on a Friday in the children’s book industry, but I’ve had to change my tune. I found out about winning a WOOP grant on a recent Friday (WOOP, WOOP!) and this past Friday, I learned about A Warm Winter Tail winning a Gelett Burgess Award! Here’s the description of the award. Click on the link to learn about winners in other categories.
“The Gelett Burgess Children’s Book Awards advisory council looks for books that entertain and teach with an energetic and creative approach. The books the Center selects must stimulate the child’s imagination, as well as inspire them creatively. Advisory council members want to know a book will make an impact in a child’s life by helping them grow: socially, emotionally, ethically, intellectually, and physically.”

I am officially in love with Friday.
