AFH-GI Award Consideration
I just learned that Let’s Go! has made the official long list to be considered for the Amelia Frances Howard-Gibbon Illustrator’s Award award given by the Canadian Library Association.
Way to go Scot Ritchie!
It’s terrific to know Scot’s illustrations have caught the CLA’s notice. The winner and honour books are announced in May 2008 at the CLA Vancouver conference.
Find more about the award at www.cla.ca and more about Scot at www.scotritchie.com and for more about our publisher Maple Tree Press at www.mapletreepress.com.
