“This is the most competitive RPLA we’ve ever had,” said Chris Coward, RPLA chairperson.
The Royal Palm Literary Awards competition is a service of the Florida Writers Association established to recognize excellence in its members’ published and unpublished works while providing objective and constructive written assessments for all entrants.
“A Peek Under the Big Top” is Volume 5 in Beaule’s popular series Chompy & The Munchy Bunch, about a carrot with superpower eyesight, and is geared toward children ages 4-10.
“Lauren Goldstein did an outstanding job with the illustrations. She came on board starting with Volume 2 and her creativity is unmatched,” Beaule said.
