WOW, I missed this one - I'd had wished I had something to enter but I didn't. This is really important especially as you had planned to aim your mission at the youngest... I hope this helps. I will have to pick up a copy soon before this goes to a major publisher. What was the prize? Very important step for you. I know a couple my favorite pieces of yours are in this book...
Congrats...later, michael

Dear Ed , This honor couldn't come to a finer person and writer! CONGRATULATIONS, I'm so happy for you!........M

Congratulations to you, Ed!

ED - CONGRATULATIONS !!!

And THANKS FOR EL LOBO ... sent link to all my peeps! Tom.

congrats!!! you are so deserving as are all those creatures you write for!

Time for change, but it should have happened a long time ago - I pray it isn't too late, judging from the current state of our air, land and sea, our creatures who reside, therein - well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

The uncaring impact on this earth by so many will be a legacy like no other. God bless you and congratulations on what may be the greatest book attributed to mother earth yet. Never give up the fight....

Be always safe,
Karen

CONGRATULATIONS, Ed! A well deserved award for the book and its author! When I first read this book last year, I shed tears of both joy and sadness over the beauty you have experienced and shared with us. As I wrote in my book review: A conscience-awakening book that is a must to be owned, read [and reread], and shared with children and grandchildren.
Much Blessings and Love and Appreciation - Micke

THIS IS THE MOST FANTASTIC NEWS, ED, AND I AM THRILLED FOR YOU! :)) Many congratulations. But, what is perhaps the MOST wonderful is that everything you do, everything you believe and stand for has been recognised and applauded: you earn this trophy simply by being YOU and doing what comes natural to you do to! I sincerely hope that your beautiful book gets to reach a wider audience who will take its messages to heart, as well as enjoy the writing. THIS IS AWESOME! When's my signed copy due to arrive????!!!! And company? We're honoured to be in yours and to be privy to your understanding, knowledge and information every day of the year!

Congratulation brother Ed, hoping that those creatures that go over our earth without taking care of, learn some lesson and stop trying to destroy the planet.
