Riding a Rocket Ship

I feel a bit like Canadian astronaut, Chris Hadfield, flying high above the earth, except my feet are planted firmly on the ground.


My space travel is one of excitement and gratitude. 

Over the past two weeks, I have been honoured with winning two awards for my middle grade book, Spaghetti is NOT a Finger Food and Other Life Lessons.

The first I received was a  Gold Mom's Choice Award. I got so excited, I gave myself a migraine and ended up in bed for most of the following day.

Yes, I am made of that sort of tough stuff.

On Mother's Day, I received the second award - A Silver Benjamin Franklin Award. This time, I was able to rein in my exuberance and remained migraine-free.

I must thank my publisher, Little Pickle Press, for having the faith in my book and entering Spaghetti for these prestigious awards.

As Connor's story reaches an ever widening and growing audience, I can't think of a better partner to have in the journey.

Hugs to you, Rana, and all of Team Pickle.
