Lisa Cinar's (04) Children's Book The Day It All Blew Away has been short listed for the Christie Harris Illustrated Children's Literature Prize, part of the BC Book Prizes.

In The Day It All Blew Away, huge-headed Mr. Tadaa and the little person are mighty lonely. Surrounded by hat-tippers who are always tipping their hats and shunning those who don't return the favor, poor Mr. Tadaa has a head too big for his hat. Even worse, the little person's hat is so big it wears him. One blustery day, Mr. Tadaa's hat and the little person are blown away by the wind... and right into each other! A surprise twist at the end shows that even in a world of hat-tippers, nonconformists can find happiness and friendship.

The winners will be announced April 26th at the Lieutenant-Governor's B.C. Book Prize Gala. For more information regarding the B.C. Book Prizes and its Nominees please visit BC Book Prizes.
