# BC Achievement Award for Early Literacy

While I was away, award season started.

This is a very fun book and I even had the pleasure of listening to Bill read/sing it.

The Time to Read Award is a national book award honouring the author and the illustrator of a children’s book suitable for kindergarten students. The winning book is distributed to all kindergarten children in British Columbia by the Ministry of Education.

Way to go Aunts!
