I love Indiana!!

Velma Gratch and the Way Cool Butterfly has been nominated for the 2008 -2009 Young Hoosier Book Award, Currently, close to 1,000 schools (and more than 72,000 kids) participate in this state award program of Indiana. Students across the state will read the nominated titles and select a winner for each category— Primary Grades/Picture Book, Intermediate Grades, and Middle Grades—in May 2009. SO IF YOU KNOW ANYONE IN INDIANA that can read! Pleas tell them to read my book and vote for it. Because I like to win.

What an exciting day. Wouldn’t t be way cool if one day I was nominated for the Hawaii Book Award!!
