Thank you to the nominating committee, and congratulations to the other nominees and their publishers. FIREFLY is my first nomination for this prestigious award.
Here is a little more about the award:
"Through the generosity of an IODE member, the late Mrs. Violet Downey, IODE Canada established The National Chapter of Canada IODE Violet Downey Book Award in 1984. The first award was presented in 1985.
