In addition to its other mentions and accolades, The Day The Universe Exploded My Head has been nominated for a Prairie Bloom Children’s Book Award by the South Dakota Library Association. This is a very special honor, as the awards are decided by readers themselves. For Universe, that means the 2nd and 3rd graders of South Dakota have singled out our book, and love it as much as we do. If you’d like to see all of the other wonderful books for all grades, nominated for this year’s awards, check out the South Dakota Librarian Association website.
