We are delighted to report that our friend Jennifer Poulter's book Mending Lucille, published by Lothian/Hachette Livre, has been nominated for two very important awards in Australia: the Family Therapists and the Crichton awards. In addition Jennifer's colleague and illustrator for Mending Lucille, Sarah Davis, has been nominated for the New Illustrator of the year Crichton award.

Mending Lucille deals with the difficult topic of a child losing a parent and it is recommended by the Australian and new Zealand Journal of Family Therapy to help children facing this difficult situation.

Jennifer has been an inspiration for many of us at Sharing-Books with her contributions, suggestions and words of encouragement. We are glad that her talent and hard work are getting this valuable recognition.

Bravo Jennifer!
