Thank you to the Jewish Book Council for naming The Schmutzy Family (with super-groovy illustrator Paul Meisel<\/a>) as a finalist in the\u00a0National Jewish Book Awards\u00a0<\/a>for illustrated children’s books. I keep going back to the web site and checking to see if my name is still there. (It is!)<\/p>\n

Thank you to the Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee for listing The Schmutzy Family among your\u00a0notables.<\/a>\u00a0Taylor’s All-of-a-Kind Family books were extremely important to me growing up in Blacksburg, Va., where there weren’t a whole lot of Jewish girls. Grateful to Ella, Henny, Sarah, Charlotte and Gertie for the company.<\/p>\n
