'Luminaries: A Children’s Book Anthology’ Wins Coveted Purple Dragonfly Book Award
CHANDLER, AZ (June, 2017) – The judges of the Purple Dragonfly Book Awards contest, which recognizes excellence in children’s literature, have spoken, and ”Luminaries: A Children’s Book Anthology” by Tracy Simpson, won an Honorable Mention in the Picture Books 6 & Older category.
“Winning any place in the Purple Dragonfly Contest is a huge honor because in order to maintain the integrity of the Dragonfly Book Awards, a minimum score is required before a First or Second place or Honorable Mention will be awarded to the entrant – even if it is the sole entry in a category,” explains Linda F. Radke, president of Story Monsters LLC, the sponsor of the Dragonfly Book Awards. “Competition is steep, too, because there is no publication date limit as long as the book is still in print.”
“Luminaries: A Children’s Book Anthology” is comprised of three stories. Story # 1 is about aliens that are working together with misguided humans to destroy earth’s resources and the human spirit. Arch Angels and members of the zodiac save the day. Story #2 follows two fireflies who befriend a faerie and show how friendship can overcome all obstacles. Then friendly time traveler visitors bringing a message of love and hope to all sentient beings. Story #3 is about two children who discover a talking unicorn that is captured, then rescued by the children’s Uncle Clyde, a horse whisperer. Kira, the unicorn, then entrusts them with one hundred magical crystals to heal planet earth.
It retails for $19.95 and can be purchased at
