✨More good news!✨
While I was still celebrating “A Halloween Farty Party” winning the 🏆 Picture Book – Preschool category, I checked the rest of my inbox to find out that “The Roll-Away Snowman” ☃️ was also named a Finalist in the very same category at the 19th National Indie Excellence Awards! 💫 Yay!
This story was such a joy to write — one of those ideas that came with a spark and grew into something truly special.
Seeing it honored in this way means the world.
I’m incredibly grateful to my brilliant illustrator, Daniela Volpari, whose artistry brought my snowman tale to life with warmth and wonder. This award belongs to her as well. 🖌️📚
If you haven’t read “The Roll-Away Snowman” yet, I hope you’ll take a moment to check it out on Amazon.
It’s a gentle, playful story for curious little readers — and I’m so proud of what Daniela and I have created together.
Thank you to the NIEA judges, to everyone who’s read and shared this story, and to those who believe in the magic of picture books. ❄️🩵
