We here at the Cybils extend a big, cheerful Mazel Tov to Stacey Shubitz of Two Writing Teachers. Stacey is one of this year’s judges for the Fiction Picture Books category.
On December 23, 2007, despite lots of rain she had a beautiful wedding ceremony, marrying Marc at the The Grand Summit Hotel in Summit, New Jersey. She celebrated with one Matron of Honor, her best friend from college; five bridesmaids; and two rabbis, one a friend from college who flew all the way from Israel to take part in the ceremony.
Stacey now has to buckle down and work with her fellow judges to choose one best 2007 picture book from the list short list of seven. So, while you’re wishing her luck with that formidable but exciting task, you can send her a hearty congratulations on her new marriage. We wish Stacey and Marc the very best in their new life together!
