ROSCOMMON- Local resident Catherine Fitzgerald, children’s book author and retired elementary school educator has been chosen as a winner of The Golden Wizard Book Prize. Ms. Fitzgerald, after application, submission of her book and review, was notified by The Golden Wizard Book Prize CEO Louise Jane that her children’s book “Maggie, the Dog with a Heart- The Adventures of a Jack Russell Terrier” had been chosen as a winner.
Ms. Jane commented, “Maggie’s journey of self-discovery is relatable for anyone who has ever struggled to find their place in the world, whether it’s in a new school or after a move. The book offers children an opportunity to voice their own emotions when going through big changes themselves.”
“Maggie, the Dog with a Heart” also recently received a Purple Dragonfly Book Award honorable mention and is available for purchase on Amazon and Barnes and Noble Booksellers. Ms. Fitzgerald’s second book, “A New Home for Maggie” is in production and scheduled for publication in late fall. She is currently working on her third book and often visits community organizations, schools, and libraries for speaking, reading and book events.
