If you're in the Seattle area, you might want to stop by the Seattle Public Library tomorrow night as they honor the winners of the 2007 Washington State Book Awards. Behold the Bold Umbrellaphant, pictured above, is one of the winners. It is a picture book written by Bainbridge Island author Jack Prelutsky and illustrated by New Yorker Carin Berger. Another winner, much deserving, is Charles D'Ambrosio, whose fiction The Dead Fish Museum is just outstanding. Six of the stories in the collection first appeared in The New Yorker. Perhaps I'll be nominated for a Washington State Book Award in the future. Surprisingly, I didn't get nominated for Odd Harbor.
