Two of my Authors win big at the Moonbeam Award

Congratulations go out to Sasha Milena Filipovich and Sarah Uren for their achievements now that the Medalists have been announced

I’m happy to celebrate two incredible authors, Sara Uren and Sasha Milena Filipovich, for their wins at the 2025 Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards — one of the most respected programs recognizing excellence in children’s literature since 2006.

• Bronze, Activity Book 1 (Arts & Crafts): Windy Acres Workshop: Art, Nature & Literature Edition by Sara Uren (Tellwell Publishing)
• Bronze, Best First Book – Picture: Cal Has Three Legs by Sasha Milena Filipovich, illustrated by Dalia Vukmirovich (Tellwell Publishing)

The Moonbeam Awards celebrate books that inspire imagination, creativity, and a love of reading in young audiences. Seeing Sara and Sasha’s work recognized on this level is truly inspiring — each of them poured heart and purpose into creating stories that educate and uplift children.

I had the privilege of working with both authors on strategic planning and consultation, helping refine their outreach and positioning. It’s deeply rewarding to see how the right strategic foundation can help deserving authors reach wider audiences and acclaim.

Congratulations again to Sara and Sasha — and to all the winners.
