New and Noteworthy Updates from Read Island
You Float My Boat
Read Island was selected by the Colorado Humanities' Center for the Book as one of three finalists for the Colorado Book Award for Children's Literature this week!
What an Honor
Wow! What a tremendous recognition - earning the Spark Honor is especially sweet because it is awarded by the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators for a children’s book published through a non-traditional publishing route. That's a mouthful, but this little seal of approval says it all.
Let's discuss The Book Thief
I likely have recommended Markus Zusak's novel The Book Thief to you before - it's in my top 5 books of all time. Well, what a pleasure it was to discuss it in detail with Jody Lee Mott on his podcast, Dream Gardens. Listen here, and if you haven't yet, go read the book!
