Jane Ann Peddicord
IRA - 2006 Children's Book Award
Texas Book Festival - 2006 featured book

Peddicord travels a long, long, way,
past stars and glowing nebulae, into
intergalactic space-then, ultimately,
loops back to a special blue-green
planet 'graced by water, wind, and
air...' readers will be more than willing
to tag along...'
School Library Journal, April 2005

"We've long waited for books such as
these to explain, in age-appropriate
language, some of the fundamental
concepts that have shaken the
foundation of Physics."
Laura Kraft, W.M. Keck Observatory,
April 2005
Texas Book Festival - 2007 featured book

"...This is a perfect celebration
covering all of the steps that a
newborn makes en route to becoming
a toddler.  The lush, enormously
appealing illustrations perfectly mesh
with the bouncy rhyme...Sure to be a
much-demanded, "Read-it-again"
picture book..."
School Library Journal, Sept. 2007

"...Peddicord creates a heartfelt story
commemorating the wonderful
development that occurs between
infancy and early childhood.  This
joyful testimony to a child's
progression is bound to appeal to a
preschooler's sense of pride in their
recent gains..."
