The
Mom's Choice Awards® named Fraidy Cat, written by
Melinda Spiker Chambers and illustrated by Sue Ann
Maxwell Spiker, Best Children’s Picture Book — Values &
Life Lessons. |
The third children's book in Melinda's top selling "Lessons
from Nature" series (following We Are Whooo We Are
and The Day the Snapdragons Snapped Back), it tells
the story of a kitten that can't muster the courage to take
his first leap into life until he gets help from an unusual
friend. As in all of Melinda's books, the story is
both entertaining and educational in a way that is fun for
its readers.
The Mom’s
Choice Awards® is a program that recognizes authors,
inventors, companies, parents and others for their efforts
in creating quality family-friendly media, products and
services. Chosen to be among the best, Melinda
Chambers was thrilled with the news. “I am so honored by
this award,” she responded. “This is the third book my
sister-in-law Sue Ann Maxwell Spiker has illustrated for me
and she has done an excellent job once again.”
