2023 Texas Bluebonnet Award Winner
Winner for the State of Texas is Memoirs of a Tortoise -
Oliver the tortoise has had his human, Ike, for a very, very long time now. In fact, they're the same age--80 years old--and practically twins. This tender story reminds us to cherish all the days we have with our pets and loved ones.
Winner for Mesquite ISD is Twins -
Maureen and Francine Carter are twins and best friends. They participate in the same clubs, enjoy the same foods, and are partners on all their school projects. Maureen and Francine are growing apart and there's nothing Maureen can do to stop it. Are sisters really forever?
