On November 12th, two Manitobans will be honoured at the 5th annual Independent Publishers Moonbeam Awards, held in conjunction with the 2nd annual Traverse City Children's Book Festival. The awards are "intended to bring increased recognition to exemplary children's books and their creators, and to celebrate children's books and life-long reading."
It's been an amazing run for Brandon author debut novel, Black Bottle Man. The book, previously shortlisted for On the Same Page through the Winnipeg Public Library, as well as the Eileen McTavish Sykes Award for Best First Book by a Manitoba Author and the McNally Robinson Book of the Year for Young People Award (Older Category) at the Manitoba Publishing Awards, won the Gold Medal in Moonbeam's Young Adult Fiction (Fantasy/Sci-Fi) category. Black Bottle Man is also currently in the running for the Prix Aurora Award for Best Long Form Work in English.
Winnipeg's tied for a Bronze Medal in the Pre-Teen Fiction-Fantasy category for her book Kingdom of Trolls.

You can now find our board books, pop-ups and books for nursery and toddler-aged children in our newly-christened McNally Robinson for Babies "store within a store". We have become your one stop shop for baby books and toys,teddy bears and clothing. McNally Robinson for Babies has joined Pregnancy, Childcare, Parenting and Growing Up on the main floor. The move has shifted many sections, so if you can't find exactly what you're looking for, ask your friendly neighbourhood bookseller.
