There is no higher honor given.
Our little independent project is judged to be one of the 25 best children's records
of any kind put out last year, by anybody, in the whole country, in any category,
including music, audiobook, audiodrama, book-CD combination, etc etc etc.

It's the only storytelling CD honored this year. In fact, it's the only one that made the finals.
