Suzanne Wind, of Greenwich, and the author of The SMART Playbook – Lil’ Champs Play it SMART was named a 2015 National Parenting Publications Awards (NAPPA) SILVER winner for its innovation, attention to quality, and educational properties.
Each year, NAPPA’s independent panel of expert judges and parents stringently test and evaluate hundreds of submissions and choose only the best of the best. Products are judged on innovation, safety, quality, educational value and the degree to which they assist busy parents and families.
“With so many products on the market, it’s sometimes hard for moms and dads to find time to separate the truly great from the rest of the pack,” says Julie Kertes, NAPPA General Manager. “Our testers save them that legwork by carefully evaluating hundreds of products and awarding only the best of the best.”
“Lil’ Champs Play it SMART uses fun and interactive games, puzzles, and activities to teach young children manners and basic social skills” says Wind, author Suzanne Wind. “We wanted to provide parents a way to teach important life skills and to help build leadership at an early age.”
