I’m thrilled to announce that my picture book, Not Your Typical Dragon (illustrated by American artist, Tim Bowers), has just been nominated for a BC Book Prize in, of course, the picture book category. These prizes are recognized as the province’s highest honour for all things literary. I’m doubly thrilled because I know just how many talented children’s authors and illustrators are based in British Columbia. This is my second nomination. Two years ago, Pussycat, Pussycat, Where Have You Been, which was illustrated by Vancouver artist, Rae Maté, was also shortlisted.
