I recently came across the above image via the VIZ Media blog… looks like the book is really getting out there! Additionally, I’m pleased to announce that Brave Story is now an award winning book…

“PHILADELPHIA - VIZ Media is the winner of the 2008 Mildred L. Batchelder Award for the most outstanding children’s book originally published in a foreign language and subsequently translated into English for publication in the United States for “Brave Story.” The award was announced January 14 during the American Library Association (ALA) Midwinter Meeting in Philadelphia, January 11-16.”

Big congrats to VIZ on this accomplishment… I’m proud to say I was a part of the effort!
