At the Cascade Awards Ceremony in Portland, Oregon, I was one of three finalists in the ‘Unpublished Children’s Chapter and Picture Book’ category. While I didn’t win the Cascade Award, it was such an honor to be considered one of the top three in my category out of 350 entries.

Congratulations to all the finalists and to all those who won the Cascade Award!  (To see a list of  the winners, click here.)
