Carolyn McWilliams Brown, author of All You Want and then Some, won a prestigious Moonbeam Children’s Book Award this weekend in Charleston, WV.
Judges chose gold, silver and bronze medalists in 36 categories, covering the full range of children’s book genres from picture books to poetry; holiday to health issues. The awards attracted nearly a thousand entries from throughout North America and the English-speaking world.
Brown and illustrator Deb Hoeffner won the silver medal in the Religion/Spirituality category.
The Moonbeam Awards are intended to bring increased recognition to exemplary children’s books and their creators, and are judged by expert panels of youth educators, librarians, booksellers, and book reviewers.
All You Want and then Some is based on a true story:
When Katie and her family need a helping hand to cope with life’s challenges, God sends Bella, a special neighbor who becomes an extraordinary friend.
Basking in Bella’s love and service, Katie wants to serve others too and discovers that God has blessed her beyond her expectations—with new friends, a good feeling in her heart, and squishy marshmallows that float—“all you want and then some.”
