A very nice surprise came via email
yesterday. My bilingual picture book, Alicia's Fruity Drinks/Las aguas
frescas de Alicia, is a finalist for the 2013
Writer's League of Texas Book Awards Competition. The winner will be
announced in September. The other nominees in the picture book category are
Jeanette Larson, Hummingbirds:Facts and
Folklore from the Americas, Don Tate, It
Jes’ Happened: When Bill Taylor Started to Draw, and Kelly Bennett, One Day I Went Rambling. Congratulations
to all and best of luck!

Yay for you! Does that award come with a sticker? Even just being able to say "award" in the same sentence as "my book" is good.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea if it comes with a sticker. Right now, my book is just a nominee. I know the Tejas Award thing came with a sticker. Thanks, Peni.
