“Getting the award for this book was a wonderful surprise and a cherished honor,” said Duno, who was involved in every step of the process - from creation to production.
“We set out to hopefully tell a story that children would find both entertaining and inspiring. I feel that we accomplished the goal, and to have it confirmed with this award is truly fantastic. Bringing the book to fruition was a very creative journey, and I’m happy that my first effort has been so well-received. I am happy as well for those I worked with on this project - Raquel Benatar, Adrian Rubio and all the people at Renaissance House.”
