Book of the Year!!! Kindergarten to 2nd for the 2011 Children's Choice Book Awards!!

Posted by Johanna Kerby on May 8, 2011 at 11:40 PM

Thank you to all the kids who voted for my book, LITTLE PINK PUP!!!! To be nominated as a finalist was beyond belief, but to actually to have won was mind boggling!

Thank you to Putnam/Penguin for all your support and by getting this story on the bookshelves and into the hands of children all over the country. 

I am so humbled to have been in the same category with the amazing authors who were also finalists.  They are all awesome!

I can't wait to add some photos from our trip to New York City.  The gala was fantastic and everyone was so nice.  It was a truly special occasion for me and my family.  I told the kids it would be a big culture change for them especially coming from a very small town.  In fact, our county, Wirt, is only one of two counties in WV that does not have a stoplight.  Imagine us then going to the Big Apple and seeing all of the lights and Times Square?  Wow!

I will get some photos on here soon of our trip and of our new piglets and baby goats...

Once again  THANK YOU!!!!

Congrats! I'm a booksellert at a Barnes & Noble in Missouri and had a customer come in asking about your book - apparently it was featured in the paper as one of the best new kids books. =D We had two copies - he bought it and then I set the other one out for people to see. It was purchased a few days later. Yay!

I also featured your book on my blog. It's a small blog, but it's got a handful of followers at least. If you'd like to take a peek, it can be found here:

Just scroll down - it's the June 18th entry. :)

Hope everyone there has a good day (animals included)!
