Launching a book can feel as if you’re putting a small vessel into a vast sea, in the midst of thousands of other craft. Will it ever be seen again?

Upon its release last year, In the Shadow of the Sun was chosen as a

🔅A Junior Library Guild Fall 2017 Selection

In the past month, the book has been honored on four new lists:

🔅Bank Street College of Education, The Best Children’s Books of the Year, 2018 Edition

 

🔅NCSS/CBC Notable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People 2018

 

🔅International Literacy Association Teachers’ Choice

 

🔅Maine Student Book Award Nominee

 

I’m deeply grateful for these forms of recognition, and all the readers who may find my book because of its appearance on one of these lists.
