I’m absolutely delighted to share that Summoning the Phoenix won an Eureka! Honor Award!! It’s sponsored by the California Reading Association, and here’s a little info about the Eureka! awards from their site:
“The Eureka! Nonfiction Children’s Book Award will assist teachers, librarians, and parents in identifying outstanding nonfiction books for their students and children.
Eligible books must be nonfiction, but can be in any genre including poetry, folktale/fairy tale, informational, biography, memoir, cookbooks, joke books, self-help, reference, etc.
Concisely: Any book that is not fiction is eligible for the Eureka!”
Summoning the Phoenix: Poems and Prose about Chinese Musical instruments
How cool is this? I’m so grateful that the committee liked Summoning the Phoenix enough to recommend it. I’d also like to congratulate my my wonderful SCBWI author friends whose books also received Eureka! Honors this year:
