The multi-award-winning children’s author Tina Turbin has received yet another prestigious award for her Danny the Dragon illustrated kids book series. The National Indie Excellence Book Awards has announced Turbin the 2012 Winner in the Category of Children’s Book and Audio Set, which marks the twelfth award Turbin has received for her critically-acclaimed book, Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy.
“The National Indie Excellence Book Awards selects, year after the year, the finest indie books out there,” Turbin said, “So when I heard the news, I was truly honored. It’s so rewarding to see so many people, parents and critics alike, open up their hearts to Danny the Dragon.”
The award comes after a series of exciting announcements about Danny the Dragon from Turbin’s publisher, Imagination Publishing Group (IPG). Recently, Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy became available for the world’s bestselling eReader, Amazon.com’s Kindle, and Apple.com’s video advertisement for the latest iPad features Turbin’s widely-praised children’s book app, which was the first app of its kind to have sign language interpretation for hearing-impaired children.
Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy, the critically-acclaimed first book in Turbin’s children’s book series, tells the story of Danny the Dragon and the friendship he develops with Jimmy and his family after their most unusual meeting at the beach. Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy has been praised for its positive, pro-family themes by critics and bloggers, and along with its subsequently-released DVD with sign interpretation and Danny the Dragon Dreams CD, has won numerous prestigious awards, including the highly-esteemed Media of the Year Award by Creative Child Magazine and Mom’s Choice Award.
The National Indie Excellence Book Awards contest, sponsored by Smarketing LLC, is judged by independent experts in all parts of the indie publishing industry, comprising writers, editors, publishers, and book cover designers. According to the contest’s website, winners and finalists are judged for their overall excellence of presentation.
According to IPG’s marketing executives, there are many more exciting announcements in store for Turbin’s Danny the Dragon children’s book series, including the release of not only two translations of Danny the Dragon Meets Jimmy and more apps but also the release of future installments of the illustrated kids book series and Turbin’s other exciting titles.
