The bestselling children's book series Thumperino - Diary of a Superbunny recently won the 2013 Book of the Year Award from Creative Child magazine, but even more exciting is the fact that it's been turned into a new musical for children called The Adventures of Superbunny and will be premiering at the 14th Annual Midtown InterNational Theatre Festival, July 19-21, 2013.
Along with winning the 2013 Book of the Year Award from Creative Child magazine, Thumperino - Diary of a Superbunny was named first finalist in the 2013 National Indie Excellence Book Awards, and has been nominated for The Writer's Digest Award, The Moonbeam Children's Book Award, The Anne Izard Storyteller's Choice Award, and The Parent's Choice Award; it has also been accepted into the Library of Congress and The National Library of Scotland. Thumperino - Diary of a Superbunny reached number one on the LuLu.com Top 100 Children's Books list spring 2013 and also topped the "What's Hot" list from Creative Play Retailer. This summer it will be offered in lending boxes by LittleFreeLibrary.org, a charitable organization providing neighborhood library stewardship worldwide.
