Rajah and the Big Blue Ball nominated for Moonbean Children Book Award
Rajah and the Big Blue Ball by Dr. Mosetta Penick Phillips-Cermak has been nominated for the Moonbeam Children’s Book Award.
This is the second time one of her books has been nominated for an award. She was nominated for an Independent Publishers Award for The Magic of Laven-Rock in 2008.
The Moonbeam Children’s Book Award are designed to bring increased recognition to exemplary children’s books and their creators, and to support childhood literacy and life-long reading.
Dr. Mosetta lives with her two Labrador Retrievers, one black and one yellow, and two Siamese cats in Ohio. She is the mother of two, grandmother of two, and great grandmother of two. A native of Cleveland Ohio, from a family of educators, she is a retired psychotherapist and a teacher of many years. Over the years, she has taught everything from kindergarten through teacher education, English, psychology and sociology.
A relatively well-known speaker in the Cleveland area, this author has presented more than a dozen papers and workshops throughout the State of Ohio. She is a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators and has attended numerous writers’ workshops, and is currently active in a critique group.
Currently under contract for 5 more Rajah stories, Dr. Mosetta also has completed several other short stories, a children’s interactive picture book to teach educational concepts, and her first middle-grade children’s fantasy novel.
Rajah LeBeau is her real dog. You can visit him at www.rajahbooks.com.
One dollar of each book purchased is donated to the Cleveland Animal Protective League http://www.clevelandapl.org.
Rajah and the Big Blue Ball can be purchased here: Publishers Graphics Bookstore, Alibris, and at PM Moon Publishers.
Fantasy Book Review would like to offer Dr. Mosetta our warmest congratulations and the best of luck with the 5 remaining Rajah stories.
