THIS TREE COUNTS! is a 2011 CRYSTAL KITE FINALIST!

Thanks to all of the SCBWI members in my region who voted for THIS TREE COUNTS!

It may be a cliche, but it truly is an honor to be a finalist. I might not have found my editor for this book unless I'd attended a regional SCBWI event, so thank you SCBWI.

Three lucky winners will get my book and ten trees planted in their name, too.
