We just found out a couple days ago that our older daughter was a River of Words Environmental Poetry finalist. Out of tens of thousands of entries her poem was selected as one of about fifty finalists. Pretty cool. The best part is her poem will be published in the 2007 anthology, River of Words: The Natural World as Viewed by Young People. She gets a copy of the book and they'll also donate copies in her name to her school library and the public library. I must admit I'm just a little jealous that she will be published before me (actually I expect both of my very talented daughters to be published before me...)
Anyway we will go to the Library of Congress in May for the awards ceremony. Now if I can just figure out how to get the personalized book website url into the press release that we send to the local paper about it, I can start exploiting my children's successes already...
