Timothy Shmoe: Finalist for FLA 2022-2023 Children’s Book Award

June 2, 2022

Very excited to learn today that The Sorry Life of Timothy Shmoe has been shortlisted for the FLA Children’s Book Award in the Grade 3-5 category. 

P.S. Also kind of tickled to be featured beside one of Eugenie Fernandes’ books as we read (re-read and re-read) and loved so many of her books when my kids were little.

The FLA Children’s Book Award was created by the Florida Literacy Association (FLA) to create a love for reading in the elementary grades throughout all counties in the state of Florida. Each year titles with varying genres that are accessible for pre-K – 2nd grades and 3rd – 5th grades are reviewed and 10 book for each grade band are selected as finalists. During the months of September 2022 to March 2023, teachers and/or students must read at least 7 out of the 10 books for their grade band and vote for their favorite.
