Are these adorable or what?!

I had a Skype visit this afternoon with a delightful group of moms and daughters from Iowa, and LOOK what they made for treats in honor of my book ONCE UPON A TOAD!

That’s the only drawback to videoconferencing — I miss out on all the treats.  :(  These are some of the most hilarious and wonderful I’ve ever seen.  Toads made out of kiwi, grapes, and dried plums?  On lettuce leaf lily pads? TOO CUTE!

ONCE UPON A TOAD has been nominated for an Oregon Book Award!

I’m doing the happy dance today for sure!  Click here for a list of the other finalists — I’m thrilled to be in such distinguished company!
