Sun in My Tummy a PYRCA Nominee!

March 16, 2023

I recently learned that Sun in My Tummy has been nominated for a Pennsylvania Young Reader’s Choice Award.

This award is sponsored by the Pennsylvania School Librarians Association. Its purpose is “to promote the reading of quality books by young people in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, to promote teacher and librarian involvement in children’s and young adult literature, and to honor authors whose works have been recognized by the students of Pennsylvania.”

There is something particularly gratifying about being included in a list of nominees selected by young readers. I am also super chuffed to be nominated alongside Pajama Press authors Michelle Kadarusman and Colleen Nelson–and my co-creator, illustrator Andrea Blinick.

You can see the full list of nominees here.
