The 2012 voting is a long ways off, but this is still some excellent news on a blustery spring-like afternoon. A big thanks to the KRA and everyone else that has been enjoying this book. I'll keep you posted on what happens next!

Awesome! Congrats!
The hundreds and hundreds of kids who skied along and read your book probably nominated you! Congratulations!

Thanks Kristen and Greg :) Crowther, we need to talk soon about your science songs. I'll give a call in the next few days.
Hey, Erik! Thanks for the kind post. I'm super impressed with all the titles you've written and illustrated. You've got a lot of experience under your belt! When I get a chance to swing by the library, I'll definitely look you up.
Also, I love the energetic linework in your Harts Pass comics. Great work!
