Awards and honors for Golden Gate Park, An A to Z Adventure!
When I learned that the illustrator for my manuscript, Golden Gate Park, An A to Z Adventure, was going to be Michael Wertz, I was over the moon.
Michael is ridiculously talented, and previously brought his own A to Z book to life for Oakland, California (ABC Oakland).
Anyway, once Golden Gate Park, An A to Z Adventure was out in the world with its incredible artwork, I wasn’t too surprised that it was honored by the Magazine of Contemporary Illustration in 2020 for its cover. Each year 3x3 Magazine assembles top juries from around the globe to judge work by professionals, students and children's book illustrators.
In 2021, Golden Gate Park, An A to Z Adventure was a nominee in the 2021 Kids’ Book Choice Awards by the Children’s Book Council. And it was an honoree in the 2021 California Reading Association’s
