Foreword Indie Fab Finalist, "The Green Musician" from Wisdom Tales Press

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - March 28, 2016 - PRLog -- Children's book The Green Musician by Mahvash Shaheh and illustrated by Claire Ewart was named Foreword Reviews' 2015 INDIEFAB Book of the Year Awards Finalist in the Children's Picture Book Category.

Today, Wisdom Tales press is pleased to announce The Green Musician, based on a thousand-year-old Persian poem, has been recognized as a finalist in the 18th annual Foreword Reviews' INDIEFAB Book of the Year Awards.

Each year, Foreword Reviews shines a light on a select group of indie publishers, university presses, and self-published authors whose work stands out from the crowd. In the next three months, a panel of more than 100 volunteer librarians and booksellers will determine the winners in 63 categories based on their experience with readers and patrons.

"The 2015 INDIEFAB finalist selection process is as inspiring as it is rigorous," said Victoria Sutherland, publisher of Foreword Reviews. "The strength of this list of finalists is further proof that small, independent publishers are taking their rightful place as the new driving force of the entire publishing industry."

Foreword Reviews will celebrate the winners during a program at the American Library Association Annual Conference in Orlando, Florida in June. We will also name the Editor's Choice Prize 2015 for Fiction, Nonfiction and Foreword Reviews' 2015 INDIEFAB Publisher of the Year Award during the presentation.
