2013 Chocolate Lily Book Awards winners finally announced!

Unlike the British Columbia book awards of Red Cedar and the Stellar Award programs, the Chocolate Lily Book Awards promote children's fiction by B. C. authors and B. C. illustrators. The two award categories for 2012/2013 were:

1. Novels - for Grades 5-8
2. Picture Books - for K to Grade 5

On June 13, Heath Traditional Elementary school in North Delta British Columbia held the Chocolate Lily Award gala at which the winners of these awards were announced.  Thanks to Tanya Lloyd Kyi for announcing the award winners today at http://cwillbc.wordpress.com/2013/06/15/on-the-red-carpet-4/
