This year the Atlantic Book Awards has created a brand new honour, the Readers’ Choice Award. And Freddie the Flyer made it through the first round to be part of the shortlist. All the members of #TeamFreddie (Fred, Miki, Audrea, me and the publishing team) are so excited. We’ve had a blast sharing our book with kids and their grownups around Canada (and the world) and love seeing how much it’s connected with readers. This would be such a dazzling little cherry on top for Fred and Audrea’s first picture book!
Want to help Freddie carry off the title? Voting is now open for the second (and last) round, and you can vote DAILY until it closes in 12 days.
Then we’ll find out if it is the winner at the Atlantic Book Awards on June 5th!
