I was wondering how I go about getting my book nominated. My book is "Seasons" by Heather Messersmith.
Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Seasons is a story about a girl who takes us through winter, spring, summer, and fall and tells us how she relates each season of the year with something from her personal experience. This story was written from a child's perspective and portrays the innocence of our youth. Seasons will take you through a colorful depiction of things a child may do throughout the year and shows us simplicity at its best. Seasons is a book that may also be used in the classroom for story time and also contains a coloring book section at the end of the book to encourage interaction and the use of one's imagination.
