Mom Is Sick & It's Okay has made the Little Peeps Long List!

I am so excited to see that my children's book, Mom is Sick & It's Okay made the Chanticleer Awards Little Peeps Long List! This is a book really close to my heart. It has been so well received at all the book events I do. There have been several comments on how they wish there was a book like this when they were younger.

I'll be doing a second Mom Is Sick, but it will be more general to gear with other chronic diseases. The illustrations will be the same and most of the wording will stay the same, but I'll just take out the parts that are strictly MS-related.

 

These titles have moved forward in the judging rounds from SLUSH pile to the 2019 Little Peeps Book Awards LONG LIST. These entries are now in competition for 2019 Little Peeps Shortlist. The ShortListers’ works will compete for the Semi-Finalists positions. Semi-Finalists will be announced and recognized at the CAC20 banquet and ceremony. The First Place Category Winners, along with the CIBA Division Grand Prize winners, will be selected from the 16 CIBA divisions Semi-Finalists. We will announce the 1st Place Category winners and Grand Prize Division Winners at the CIBAs Banquet and Ceremony on Saturday, April 18th, 2020 at the luxurious Hotel Bellwether in Bellingham, Wash.

These titles are in the running for the SHORT LIST of the 2019 Little Peeps Book Awards for Early Readers and Children’s Picture Books.

Good luck to all as your works move on to the next rounds of judging.
