When Space Cop Zack, Protector of the Galaxy, was released in the fall of 2013, I mentioned at that time that my book is about the “beta version” of imagination—childhood fantasies that help kids develop their imaginations into powerful tools that can serve them well throughout their life.
And of course imagination has more benefits than helping them to become better problem solvers. It has important psychological and psychosocial benefits, especially for developing children. It can help kids learn to think symbolically, an essential skill in the world we live in today. Thinking symbolically is the first step on the road to critical thinking.
I’m thrilled to announced that Space Cop Zack was recently named a UK Wishing Shelf Book Award Gold Medal Winner! Wishing Shelf Awards are distinctive: all the voters are readers in 8 primary and second schools in the UK. When your book gets special notice from kids who have hundreds of other submissions to consider, it feels great! The Wishing Shelf Book Award is just the latest mark of recognition given to Space Cop Zack.
Space Cop Zack, Protector of the Galaxy received a five-star review and won a Readers’ Favorite Book Award.
