The Indie Choice Awards were announced late last week, and we are so pleased that Mary Lyn Ray's STARS, illustrated by Marla Frazee, is an honor book recipient of the E.B. White Read-Aloud Picture Book Award!

Books are nominated for this award by independent booksellers and chosen by a committee representing their bookselling peers. The award recognizes books that are a "pleasure" to read aloud and hear read aloud—which of course we believe describes STARS to a T!

Huge, huge congratulations, Mary Lyn!
