I’m proud to announce that my fourth and most recent book, The 50 Yard Challenge: How a Small Simple Act Became a Nationwide Movement, has received another incredible honor, earning First Place in the National Indie Excellence Book Awards in the Nonfiction (Ages 3–8) category! This award means so much because it highlights the power of kindness, service, and how one simple act can inspire a movement that now involves thousands of kids across the country making a difference in their communities. A very special thank you goes to my talented illustrator, Valeria Kornus, for bringing these stories to life through her beautiful artwork. Her creativity and dedication have helped make these books truly special for young readers. To learn more about my books and mission, visit: rodneysmithjr.com⁠.
