Hi, all:
I just found out that Phenomenal Female Entrepreneurs has earned a spot on the Bank Street Books "Best Children's Books of the Year, 2014" list. I'm so pleased! The Bank Street College of Education, based in New York, New York, has a Children's Book Committee, which was founded in 1909. This committee "fostered a growing awareness of the emotional needs of children, and of how books might affect children's feelings of themselves and the world around them." They began by publishing a pamphlet, but as time went by, they developed lists, reviews, a magazine, and now a booklet. The 2014 list is not yet available on the Web, but I'll be sure to provide a link as soon as it is. In the meantime, you can read more about the work of Bank Street Books at these links:

Other good news: shoots are finally started to sprout in my garden and one clump of snowdrops is in full bloom. After a long, cold winter, it looks like spring is finally making a sunny appearance. Happy spring!
