Hello everyone... I have yet more amazing news about
Colorful World...
We have won a Moonbeam Gold Medal Award!!! (We have
also won a 2009 Teachers' Choice Award) I can't believe my
senior project from MCAD, my most proud project I have
done, is making more news! I can't even explain how happy
I am about this most recent news.
To find out more about the award, visit the Moonbeam
website at

They haven't updated their website yet with the
announcement of the winners but at least you can see why
we were selected. Below is the information that was sent to
me from my publisher!
Spread the word!

Here are the 2008 Moonbeam Children¹s Book Awards
results, arranged by
category. Congratulations to our gold, silver and bronze
medalists in all 31 Moonbeam Awards categories, plus the
Moonbeam Spirit and Peacemaker of the Year gold medal
winners.
The 138 medalists listed below were chosen from a total of
1,085 entries (an average of 36 per category). Many of
these books are by little-known
authors, illustrators and publishers from around the world,
and we're proud to bring them to the attention of the
children's book audience. Creating books that inspire our
children to read, to learn, and to dream is an extremely
important task, and these awards were conceived to reward
those efforts. Thanks to everyone involved for sharing their
wonderful works of art. Congratulations to all!
