Enter by taking a photo of your Willow reader(s) reading the book, Pulse Point, and share the photo with @WillowAwards and Colleen Nelson on Instagram (@ColleenNelson14) or Twitter (@colleennelson14) with the hashtag #winwithWILLOWS. Photos should not include children's faces unless you have permission to do so.
