'From Vimy to Victory' is Nominated for the 2015 T-D Children's Literature Award

I was excited yesterday when the announcements were made of the nominees for the 2015 T-D/CCBC Children's Book Awards. From Vimy to Victory is one of the 5 nominees for the $30,000 Toronto-Dominion Canadian Children's Literature Award.  It's unusual for a non-fiction book of this kind to be nominated for the literature award so, win or lose, I'm excited.  It was also great to see that the book has also been nominated for the $10,000 Norma Fleck Award which is for the best Canadian non-fiction book.  I won this award in '07 so don't expect to win again but a nomination is just great.  The awards are given out on November 18th at a swank gala generously hosted by the T-D Bank who do so much for Canadian children's books.
