My favorite recent children’s book, Wild Girls by Pat Murphy (Viking Press, hardcover, $16.99), has just won a Christopher Award. For those not familiar with the award:
First presented in 1949, the Christopher Awards were established by Christopher founder Father James Keller to salute media that “affirm the highest values of the human spirit.” Their goal is to encourage men, women and children to pursue excellence in creative arenas that have the potential to influence a mass audience positively. Award winners encourage audiences to see the better side of human nature and motivate artists and the general public to use their best instincts on behalf of others.
If you have not already read this wonderful book, please purchase a copy today!
