Book Awards 

 Snort's Special Gift has won a gold medal in the Mom's Choice Awards in the category: Children's Picture Books, Growing Up/Personal Growth.  The Mom's Choice Awards® program recognizes authors, inventors, companies, parents and others for their efforts in creating quality family-friendly media, products and services. (October 2011)

 Snort's Special Gift is the proud recipient of a silver medal in the religion/spirituality category of the Moonbeam Children's Book Awards.  Presented by Jenkins Group and Independent Publisher Online, the Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards are designed to bring increased recognition to exemplary children’s books and their creators, and to support childhood literacy and life-long reading. Awards are given in 38 categories covering the full range of subjects, styles and age groups that children’s books are written and published in today. As our society has become more complex and growing up more complicated, children’s book authors and publishers have risen to the occasion, creating books that not only celebrate the joys of childhood, but also help kids and families deal with its challenges. The Moonbeam Awards will recognize and reward the best of these books and bring them to the attention of parents, booksellers, librarians – and to children themselves.
