The Mom’s Choice Awards® Names Books in Crib Sheets® Series Among Best in Family-Friendly Products
Asheville, NC, April 29, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The Mom's Choice Awards® has named two books in the Crib Sheets® parenting series, "Canny Granny: How to Be the Favorite Grandparent" and "Crib Sheets Are You Covered? New Parent Sleep Deprivation Solutions," among the best in family-friendly media, products and services.
“It’s such an honor for my books to be recognized by Mom’s Choice Awards,” says Elizabeth Gardner, author of the Crib Sheets® parenting series. “It’s a recognition of quality, of being among the best family products out there. It’s exciting.”
The Mom’s Choice Awards® (MCA) is an awards program that recognizes authors, inventors, companies, parents and others for their efforts in creating quality family-friendly media, products and services.
Parents, educators, librarians and retailers rely on MCA evaluations when selecting quality materials for children and families. The Mom’s Choice Awards® seal helps families and educators navigate the vast array of products and services and make informed decisions.
About The Honorees:
When "Crib Sheets Are You Covered? New Parent Sleep Deprivation Solutions" first appeared in 2002, it was eagerly received by expectant and new parents in the United States and Canada even without a traditional publisher. “I made every copy myself,” explains parenting strategist Elizabeth Gardner. “My kids and I got to know the inside of our local Kinko’s pretty well.” But none of that mattered to soon-to-be and new moms desperate for solutions. “They didn’t care what form the answers came in, they just wanted answers,” says Elizabeth, "and Crib Sheets delivers." Packed with practical and effective strategies, it’s a road map of help for exhausted parents. Hailed on its first release as “…a definitive, must-have” – Heather Grace Stewart, Lachine, Canada, it remains, “…the mom written reality baby book that provides real solutions.” – Michelle Johnston, Brussels, Belgium. Now published in its third edition, Crib Sheets is still the only book on the market helping parents prepare both before and after birth to get the sleep they need. "…this isn’t just some pie-in-the-sky formula–it’s a tried-and-true method developed from the author’s own experience…a much-needed manual for would-be and already-are parents of newborns." – Editor’s Choice Award, iUniverse.
When the second book in the Crib Sheets® series "Canny Granny: How to Be the Favorite Grandparent" was published in 2008, it was widely received by eager grandparents as the only book on the market telling them what they wanted to know most – how to be the favorite. Canny Granny remains the ultimate favorite grandparent guide. Practical, effective strategies help grandparents get more visits, learn good and bad news first, enjoy grandchild-initiated contact, increase holiday time, grandparent long distance, and more. Is it ok to want to be the favorite? "Absolutely," says author and parenting strategist Elizabeth Gardner, "grandparents care deeply about their families. Canny grannies know effective, noncompetitive strategies that get them time and relieve stress. Making parents' lives easier while respecting their decisions is a winning combination."
