Finding My Voice with a Speech Disorder by Amber Echols

Winner
Children's Picture Book: Softcover Nonfiction
2022 Best Book Awards

Join us as we journey with a boy named Damarius and read how he found his voice and overcame a speech disorder. Damarius was diagnosed with Childhood Apraxia of Speech which is a disorder that makes it hard to speak. You will read how he and his family put in the time and work to help him learn to say sounds and words correctly. During this journey you will see the obstacles Damarius faced including his emotions, socializing with others, gaining confidence, his school work and more.

We hope to encourage families to seek help as they realize their child may not be meeting certain speech milestones or when they notice major errors in their Child's speech. There are many different speech disorders and they require different kinds and amounts of help.

Not all speech disorders are curable. But with therapy through private and public programs, children can be helped to find their voices. At the end of this book you will find different resources that may be able to help with your child and your situation.

Mason Goes Mushrooming by Melany Kahn

Finalist
Children's Picture Book: Hardcover Nonfiction
2022 Best Book Awards

This first-of-its kind foraging story, Mason Goes Mushrooming takes us on a woodland treasure hunt. We follow a young boy and his four-legged pal, Buddy, to hunt edible mushrooms through lush Vermont landscapes, morels in springtime, chanterelles in summer and black trumpets in autumn. Curious about mushroom foraging or how you can hear the sound of the ocean without leaving the forest? Mason teaches us it’s never too early to learn, and never too late to start.

Author (and Mason’s mom) Melany Kahn quells common fears and puts the “us” in mushrooms, by weaving simple education through a playful, fungi-finding adventure. Four kid-friendly, forest-to-frying pan recipes highlight the flavor notes of the mushrooms featured. A short identification guide is provided for newbie foragers.

Nurse Florence®, How Do We See Things? by Michael Dow, RN, MS, MHA, MSM

Finalist
Children's Picture Book: Softcover Nonfiction
2022 Best Book Awards

Sometimes it seems only a nurse can bring technical information down to an understanding that an ordinary person can grasp. The Nurse Florence® book series provides high quality medical information that even a child can grasp. By introducing young kids to correct terminology and science concepts at an early age, we can help increase our children's health literacy level as well as help to prepare them for courses and jobs in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math. We need more scientists so I hope that many children will enjoy this book series and consider a job involving science.
