I received wonderful Bird-news today from Tundra Books!

1) The OLA Best Bets Committee has chosen Bird Child as one of their top ten Canadian Children’s Picture Books!  The Best Bets Books will be presented at the OLA Super Conference in Toronto next week.

2) Bird Child has been nominated for the 2010 Saskatchewan Young Readers’ Choice Award as a Shining Willow book!  These awards allow over 10,000 students and young adults to read and vote for their favorite books.  I love imagining all these sweet kids in Saskatchewan reading Bird Child in their classrooms and libraries.
