I received some nice news this week. Whales to the Rescue has been short-listed for the Land of Enchantment Book Award. Organized by the New Mexico Library Association and the New Mexico Literacy Association, this is an award in which children read from a list of books and vote for their favourite. The results won’t be out until 2024, but it’s nice to know my book will be on the bookshelves and bedside tables of some young people this year.
