The SCBWI announced the winners of the 2016 Crystal Kite Member Choice Awards for fifteen regional divisions:
I always love to see which books are chosen from each region of SCBWI for this award. This year, the book chosen from my region (the Mid South) is: “Secret Files World War II, by Stephanie Bearce. I had the opportunity to meet Stephanie earlier this year at a SCBWI workshop. She talked to us about the joys of writing non-fiction for children.
See ALL the chosen books for 2016 on the SCBWI website.

About the Crystal Kite Awards
The Crystal Kite Awards are given by the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators to recognize great books from the seventy SCBWI regions around the world. Along with the SCBWI Golden Kite Awards, the Crystal Kite Awards are chosen by other children’s book writers and illustrators, making them the only peer-given awards in publishing for young readers.
