Make no mistake about it... we are thrilled to announce that The Girl Who Never Made Mistakes has been awarded an Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Book Award!
Congratulations to authors Mark Pett and Gary Rubinstein, and the whole team at Sourcebooks. When the book was first presented to us, it was praised as an in-house favourite at Sourcebooks (possibly due in part to the protagonist's resemblance to a certain perfectionist Sourcebooks rep!), and it's great to be seeing the book being so well-loved now that it's out there in the world.
The Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Book Award is an independent consumer review of children's media founded by child development experts Joanne Oppenheim and her daughter Stephanie Oppenheim. Their Oppenheim Toy Portfolio awards have become a benchmark of excellence with consumers, toy makers, and the media. In order to receive an Oppenheim award, the book must be selected by a noted expert in child development, children's literature, and education, and further tested by the most objective panel of judges—kids.
The Platinum Award is given to the most innovative, engaging products of the year. This is the highest honor the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio awards!
