The Witch’s Guide to Cooking with Children was named a 2010 ALA Notable Children’s Recording and a 2011 Texas Bluebonnet book. It was also nominated by Hawai’i librarians for the 2012 Nēnē Award.
In 2010, Keith was awarded the Thurber House residency, given to one children’s book author each year in honor of American author and humorist James Thurber. He wrote part of his second children’s novel, The Witch’s Curse, during his residency there in the attic of James Thurber’s boyhood home. |
