Great news. My book baby, Pearl Verses the World has won The Indie Children’s Book Award, 2009 and is now on the shortlist (of four) for the Indie Book of the Year 2009.
What an honour – and what excitement. I have been happy dancing and singing and laughing and, yes, even crying, with joy.
To learn more about the award you can visit the new Indies Website. And, in the meantime, feel free to dance with me.
Thank you to the independent booksellers who have recognised Pearl in this way, and who always support Australian authors.
Gotta dance!
Congratulations, Sally. I came across your blog as over the past few days I have been surfing the net for blogs written by children’s authors, hoping for tips and inspiration. I will shortly be volunteering at a tiny school in the slum area of Bangalore, India. Story telling will be one of my activities. However, story books and story telling will be a new concept here, so I am a bit nervous.
Thanks Angela. i think you're pretty special, too.
Well done Sally and Pearl. I'm honoured to know you:)
