The Huffington Post Gives Summoning the Phoenix an Honorable Mention for Best Children’s Book of 2014
I’m absolutely delighted that Minh Le of The Huffington Post has given Summoning the Phoenix an Honorable Mention for Best Nonfiction Book for Children in 2014. Minh is also an author of a children’s book forthcoming in 2015, and so he has a writer’s perspective in addition to a critic’s and parent’s perspective. I agree with his assertion that “we are living in a new golden age of picture books” so it makes his recognition even more meaningful to me. Read his full list!
Thank you, Minh Le and The Huffington Post!
