SAFE CROSSING wins Green Earth Book Award

Happy Earth Day! I am so happy to share today’s news that SAFE CROSSING won the Nature Generation’s Green Earth Book Award Council Oak Picture Book Intermediate 2026.

In their own words, “Each Earth Day since 2004, The Nature Generation has bestowed this coveted award to children’s and young adult literature that best convey the message of environmental stewardship. We celebrate the winning authors and illustrators and applaud all authors who continue to tell the stories about the environmental challenges we all face in a way that resonates with children and young adults. We also recognize the publishers who continue to bring these stories to fruition.”

As a kid lit creator, I hope this award helps more young readers and their caregivers visualize ways to get involved with their ecological communities wherever they call home.
