Amy won two awards in 2020 for God's Protection Covers Me, the Christian Market Children’s Book of the Year, second place, and the Angel Book Award, second place. Her books, activities, and poetry have won the Moonbeam Children’s Book Award, Dr. Toy Best Vacation Children’s Product Award, Missouri Writers’ Guild Walter William Major Work Award, Creative Child Magazine “Seal of Excellence” Award, and more. As a longtime member of the Missouri Writers Guild (MWG) and the Society of Children’s Book Writers & Illustrators (SCBWI), Amy enjoys its online community and regional conferences. Observing young children when Amy taught preschool at Head Start and as a graduate assistant in the Early Childhood Department of Northwest Missouri State University helps her to write authentically. While her daughters were growing up, Amy wrote part-time and worked as a librarian, preschool teacher, and instructor for the Institute of Children’s Literature (currently the Institute for Writers). A few years ago, her dream—to write full-time—came true. Amy and her husband, Steve, have two grown daughters and three grandchildren. They live in rural Northwest Missouri, an hour from Steve's family farm. Visit Amy’s website: https://amyhouts.com. Follow her on Twitter @AmyHouts and Facebook, Author Amy Houts.
