Oviedo, FL. The PenCraft Awards® has named “Stanley & the Candy Cane Wormhole” among their 2023 Best in Children's Preschool Books for Literary Excellence! 

"We are delighted to receive the PenCraft Award Seal of Approval,” says Founder Chris Harden. “We send our heartfelt thanks to the PenCraft award team members which are friendly to small press like us and drive a level of rigor and quality in their assessment." 

David Hearne, Editor in Chief of the PenCraft Awards explains the award this way: “We want our PenCraft Book Awards to represent true book winners, and your book was indeed one that met that criteria. Books that win our competition are not only examples of literary excellence but also have demonstrated a notable popularity with readers.

This year the competition was daunting, with over 1100 book entries to compete against. Being a winner in the 2023 competition is certainly something to crow about – you beat out many contenders. 

To select our winners, the many PenCraft Award submissions are culled down by using a judging criterion that incorporates a recommendation from the initial AuthorsReader's reviewer or PenCraft Book Award reviewer and then finalized by further evaluation by our judges. Their final evaluation considers not only how well the book was written and crafted but also things such as the book's marketplace popularity and how professional the book's cover looks. The promotional effort taken by the publisher or author is another yardstick considered. From this entire process, the winners of each category are determined.”
