Thank you so very much for the feedback. It's been a thrill to participate in the Wishing Shelf Book Awards and I am greatly honored to be a finalist. The comments you attached warmed my heart -- that children enjoyed my book is my greatest delight.

"I would be pleased to have you post the comments and blurb on the mentioned pages.
All you do to run the awards is enormous work and a marvelous service to independent authors and to the children and teachers who participate in judging the books. What a wonderful learning experience for all of us! Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am grateful to you and the work you are doing and wish you all the best!"

Valerie L. Egar, author of Oh No! Reindeer Flu!
