So pleased to share this news!

Dear Nicola:

As Chair of the 2024 ASJA Awards Committee, it’s my pleasure to inform you that your entry, Saving the Spotted Owl: Zalea’s Story, is the winner in the Children/Young Adult Nonfiction category. 

Here’s what the judges had to say about your work:

Saving the Spotted Owl: Zalea’s Story is densely packed with kid-friendly information that makes scientific data about endangered animals relatable and useful in a classroom. We also appreciate the editing choice to include an Index and Glossary.

Congratulations on your accomplishment and thank you for supporting the 2024 ASJA Awards Competition!

Warmly,

Dara Chadwick

Chair
