Lizabeth Wins Two Awards! 🏆

I'm thrilled to share that Lizabeth and the Great Tooth Fairy Blunder was recognized from the 2026 International Firebird Book Awards — earning 2nd Place in the Children's Picture Book category, and winning the Whimsical Wonders Award outright. The Firebird Awards celebrate storytelling across fiction and nonfiction, and entry fees go toward funding handmade pillowcases and children's books donated to women and children in long-term shelters — including survivors of domestic violence, sex trafficking, and homelessness. Being part of that mission makes this recognition mean even more. - July 2026
