Savor Publishing House is pleased to announce that Asthma Is Not Stopping Me, Featuring Fabulous Me, Piper Lee! has won the Academics’ Choice Smart Book Award for 2016, a prestigious seal of educational quality, reserved only for the best mind-building media and toys. This adds to the already received Academics’ Choice Smart Book Award for 2015, and the 2016 & 2015 Creative Child Book of the Year Award, from Creative Child Magazine.

The independent Academics’ Choice Awards program and its seal of excellence are recognized worldwide by consumers and educational institutions as a mark of genuinely effective learning tools that stimulate the mind, and provide potential for the student to fully develop higher order thinking skills.

The Academics' Choice Advisory Board consists of leading thinkers and graduates from Princeton, Harvard, George Washington University, and other reputable educational institutions. Product-appropriate volunteer reviewers, combined with the brainpower of the Board, determine the coveted winners. Entries are judged by category, subject area, and grade level, and evaluated based on standardized criteria rooted in constructivist learning theory.

Academics' Choice™ helps consumers find exceptional brain-boosting material. Academics’ Choice is the only international awards program designed to bring increased recognition to publishers, manufacturers, independent authors and developers that aim to stimulate cognitive development. A volunteer panel of product-appropriate judges, including parents, educators, scientists, artists, doctors, nurses, librarians, students and children, evaluate submissions based on educational benefits such as higher-order thinking skills, character building, creative play, durability and originality. Only the genuine “mind-builders” are recognized with the coveted Academics’ Choice Award™.

The judges of the Purple Dragonfly Book Awards contest, which recognizes excellence in children’s literature, have spoken, and Grand Prize Winner is Fabulous Me, Piper Lee and the Peanut Butter Itch by Tolya L. Thompson, illustrated by Terence Gaylor.
