2018 Mom's Choice Award Goes to The Imagination Warriors by Marc Romanelli

SANTA FE, N.M. - Sept. 24, 2018 - PRLog -- PenPower Book Marketing Services is honored to announce that New Mexico author Marc Romanelli's juvenile fiction book, The Imagination Warriors, has earned the prestigious 2018 Mom's Choice Silver Award for Excellence in family-friendly books. Having been rigorously evaluated by a panel of MCA evaluators, The Imagination Warriors is deemed to be among the best new book for families and young adults.

The MCA evaluation process uses a propriety methodology in which entries are scored on a number of elements including production quality, design, educational value, entertainment value, originality, appeal, and cost.

"We are thrilled that Marc's book is the recipient of a coveted Mom's Choice Awards Seal of Approval," says Jeanie C. Williams, Director of PenPower Book Marketing Services. "We know the great things the MCA does to connect consumers, educators, and caregivers with the best products and services available for families. Reading The Imagination Warriors is sure to be a very engaging, rewarding and supportive family adventure and Marc's book is certain to become a children's classic!"

Praise for The Imagination Warriors:

"A delightful romp from the high-desert settings of Northern New Mexico across the limitless lands of imagination."

—Carmella Padilla
Author, The Work of Art: Folk Artists in the Twenty-First Century
Recipient, New Mexico Governor's Award for Excellence in Literary Arts

"Romanelli weaves a magical, fur-tingling tale that travels through time, art, and love. Journey to unexpected lands to meet brave, bold and sometimes belligerent characters who remind us that the power of imagination is a gift and our most creative force —an enticing adventure for elementary children and an engaging read-aloud for families."

—Beth A. Clayton
Founder & Director, Journey Montessori School

To be considered for a Mom's Choice award, each entrant must submit five (5) identical samples for testing. Entries are matched to evaluators in the MCA database. Evaluators are bound by a strict code of ethics not only to ensure objectivity, but also to ensure that the evaluation is free from manufacturer influence. The five evaluations are submitted to the MCA Executive Committee for final review and approval.

"Our aim is to introduce families and educators to best-in-class products and services," explains Dawn Matheson, Executive Director of the Mom's Choice Awards. "We have a passion to help families grow emotionally, physically and spiritually. Parents and educators know that products and services bearing our seal of approval are high quality and have great value. The MCA evaluation program is designed to incorporate the expertise of scientists, physicians and other specialists; but we also engage parents, children, educators, and caregivers because they are experts in knowing what is best for their families."
