Everyone Wins- Some Get a Medal

Everyone wins who reads.
Everyone who reads to a child, wins.
Everyone who tries their hand at writing, wins.
Everyone feels they win when they get published.
And a few published authors, win a medal, a bronze medal with the winner's name and the date engraved on the back.

(Not really sorry. You're a winner.)
