Most of all, thank you, readers, and those who have written and shared your experiences of reading The Stars in April. Those words of encouragement remind writers, especially children's book writers, why we do what we do.

Thanks to Titanic Museum Attraction, American Christian Fiction Writers (ACFW), Society of Children's Book Writers & Illustrators, Southern Christian Writers Conference, Christian Product Expo (CPE), Literary Titan, Page Turner Awards, The Old Schoolhouse Magazine, Midtown Reader, The Herald-Palladium, Girls' Life, Tallahassee Schools, Our Shepherd Lutheran Church and School, Southfield Christian School, Reading Rocks in Rockford, and to all who have invited us to share the story.

To booksellers, especially The Book Loft, Kids Ink Children's Bookstore, Sunshine Book Co. - Clermont, Forever Books, The Writer's Block Bookstore & Cafe, Ink-a-Dink Children's Bookstore, and to all Indie bookstores out there sharing their love of books.

To those names and unnamed who helped along the way, including Stephanie Stapert, Brayden Probst, Laura and Brennan Standel, and to Robert Carter, for helping create this video.
