Shelby rules! At least in Arizona

A book about a shy shark named  Shelby has taken second place in a literary competition in land-locked Arizona. All kidding aside, I remember telling everyone this book deserved wider distribution and promotion, but let's read the press release:

Hardback children's picture book, Shelby, was awarded second place in the category, children's literature, for the Arizona Authors Literary Contest 2006. We at Stonehorse Publishing in Tulsa, Oklahoma, congratulate our outstanding author and illustrator team, Stacy Nyikos and Shawn Sisneros, for their creative work and extraordinary accomplishment.

Congrats, folks. Here's my original post.
