Liz Garton Scanlon is the author and it's a wonnnnderful book, poetic and lovely with a universal message. Plus Liz is a great friend. :)
Marla Frazee is the illustrator and she did a beautiful job -- I've admired her work for ages and she's great fun-- I got to hang out with her a bit at a local conference. Together, they make this book a tour de force.
It's a huge honor for their book to be considered for Cheerios. I hope they win. :)

Came to your blog looking to see if ELLIE will be out in time for Christmas presents. :( The girls will have to wait! I know second daughter really wants one for herself (first daughter has the first two.)
I've been trying to convince my local library branch that they need a copy of ELLIE' my kids all agree that it is better then WIMPY KID - even my son!
Liz is great! I hope her book does make it into Cheerios. I've been a votin'.
