Double Scoop of Goodness

Who can resist putting a nice, shiny award sticker on her website? Not me. I'm happy to report that Dozer's Run has been named a Finalist in the 2014 USA Best Book Awards in the Nonfiction Children’s Picture Book category. Good dog, Dozer! Thank you, USA Book News!And the second scoop: We Shall Overcome: The Story of a Song has received a 2014 Aesop Accolade from the American Folklore Society. The Aesop Prize Committee called the book "an outstanding narrative of the evolution of a great song for social change" that "is accessible to children in grades 1-5, and, in many ways, is written for people of all ages." I am grateful for this recognition.
