MOSCOW, ID Idaho author Annette Bay Pimentel recently received notification her children s book, All the Way to the Top: How One Girl s Fight for Americans with Disabilities Changed Everything was awarded the 2021 Schneider Family Book Award. The awards committee had our publisher arrange a Zoom call to break the news to us. It was a thrill to listen with Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins, who the book is about, as committee members talked about why they valued the book, said Pimentel. We are excited that this award will help connect more kids with our book.
