On April 2 , 2016 I went to Los Angeles for the award ceremony of Literary Classics. HOPE IS HERE! is the recipient of one of the four Top Honors Award. The Lumen Award is given for Literary Excellence in Nonfiction for Young Readers.
On April 1, I did a book signing, and on April 2, there was an afternoon ceremony and an evening reception. I am proud to be the Lumen Award winner!
Thanks Literary Classics.
