Carol Stream, IL – Tyndale House Publishers is celebrating multiple ECPA awards, including a Christian Book Award® and five Bronze Sales Awards.
Christian Book Award®, Children’s category:
Hello! My Name Is Emmanuel by Emmanuel Jean Russell; illustrated by Martina Stuhlberger (9781496488442). Born in Haiti, Emmanuel was raised by his loving grandmother, who often reminded him that his name means “God is with us.” His life changed when he was adopted by the Kingsbury family, and through his journey of adoption, Emmanuel discovered not only the true meaning of his name but also the constant presence of God in his life.
“Emmanuel’s story is not only powerful for adopted and multicultural children but for any child who wonders whether God is truly with them through every circumstance,” says Talia Messina, kids acquisitions editor at Tyndale. “This essential truth is woven throughout his journey from Haiti to his forever family in the United States.”
The Christian Book Award® program recognizes the highest quality in Christian books and Bibles and is among the oldest and most prestigious awards program in the religious publishing industry. Presented annually to the finest in Christian publishing since 1978, the Christian Book Award® program honors the “best of the year” in 12 categories.
