2020 Royal Dragonfly Book Award Winners Announced

Little Ant & the Epic Battle by Ilene Dudek was awarded honorable mention in the Picture Books 6 & Older category.


NUTLEY, NJ (Dec. 28, 2020)—Story Monsters LLC announced the winners of the 2020 Royal Dragonfly Book Awards. The annual Royal Dragonfly Book Award contest is a global competition that honors excellence in all types of literature and book marketing, recognizing a comprehensive list of genres in 71 categories—from Pets to Poetry and LGBT to STEM.


Little Ant & the Epic Battle by Ilene Dudek was awarded honorable mention in the Picture Books 6 & Older category. This colorful picture book features a lovable little ant and his battle against an army of angry germs. Inspired by the pandemic, this modern-day fairy tale explains coronavirus in a way that children can understand: villains attack, battles are fought, heroes emerge. In the end, the little ant tries to accomplish what others could not—to defeat the virus and save the world.


“This year’s judges had a challenging task as they reviewed and selected winners in more than 70 book and marketing categories, from Best Cover Design and Book Trailers to Humor and Graphic Novels,” said Linda F. Radke, president of Story Monsters LLC. “We are deeply honored by the huge number of submissions we received from all around the world and wish all of our award-winning authors a very sincere congratulations.”
