Krista August, a resident of South East Ravenswood, is one of three Chicago-area authors to be awarded the Book of the Year by the Chicago Writers Assoc.

“Giants in the Park: A Guide to Portrait Statues in Chicago’s Lincoln Park” was written and illustrated by August.

“These are all outstanding, truly deserving works,” CWA President Randy Richardson said.

Greg Borzo wrote in his review of Giants in the Park, “it includes a collection of crisp, clear and well-researched stories about the people depicted by these bronze figures as well as the people who funded and sculpted these historical treasures.”

August’s work is available through her website and at local booksellers. August will receive the award at an event at Book Cellar; 4736 N Lincoln Ave; Jan. 14, 7P.
