Colorado Book Award Finalist

June 24,2011

On June 24, my brother Christopher, Bob and I traveled to Aspen, CO to participate in the Colorado Book Awards program of the Colorado Humanities. We were so honored to be part of the festivities of the 20th annual awards. Being a finalist was awesome for a first book effort by the illustrator and myself. I met an author I admire--Laura Resau--whose juvenile books are published by Delacorte Press. Her book Star in the Forest has an important immigration story and she signed it for me! She had two books in contention for the award in two different categories.
