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!
