Congratulations are in order for Corinna Luyken (again!). Her picture book, The Book of Mistakes, was chosen as the winner of the 2018 Crystal Kite Award for the Western Division (Washington, Oregon, Alaska, northern Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota). The awards are given by the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) “to fifteen books that represent excellence in the field of children’s literature, the Crystal Kites Awards are peer-selected, voted on by SCBWI members from local regions.”
On twitter, Luyken commented: “I got my start in this industry because of @scbwiwwa and @scbwi so this means everything to me.”
Watch for the next book illustrated by Luyken, coming August 14 and available for preorder now at your local indie, Adrian Simcox Does NOT Have a Horse.
