"Mini Milk Maids on the Mooove" has been selected as the winner of the 2010 Ohio Farm Bureau Federation (OFBF) Children's Literature Award. Given annually by the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation board of trustees, the award recognizes the author of a children's book the organization considers to be an especially important contribution to American literature and American agriculture. Written by twin sisters, Rianna and Sheridan Chaney of Thurmont, Md., and edited by their mother Rebecca Long Chaney, the book highlights the twins personal experiences in the dairy industry including time with their grandfather, a retired dairy farmer; learning about what happens at a dairy farm from birth to milk production; participating at the county fair; joining the 4-H Cloverbuds club; and helping to make ice cream at South Mountain Creamery.

In a letter to the Chaney twins, OFBF Education Specialist Judy Roush wrote, "This annual award has been given since 1989, way before you were born! We also congratulate you, the "agricultural warriors" for all the programs you do to tell the story of where food comes from and promote farm life." The OFBF puts a golden emblem on each book given to a teacher in Ohio designating it as the 2010 Children's Literature Award winner. This is the second book in an agricultural education series called The Chaney Twins' Series. Their first book, “Little Star... Raising our First Calf” was nominated for this children's award in 2009. It has been selected as the Ag Book of Year by several Farm Bureau organizations across the country including South and North Dakota.
Rianna and Sheridan are grateful for the support from industry experts and everyone who helped make “Mini Milk Maids on the Mooove” a success, especially series photographer and book co-creator, Kelly Hahn Johnson of Sharpsburg, Md., graphics designer Kathy Stowers of Jefferson, Md., and Web site and video creator Whitney Hahn of Digital Bard of Frederick, Md.

"What a special book
the girls have put together, explaining how as dairy farmers we take a
lot of time, effort, and pride in bringing a healthy, nutritious,
product to our consumers. This book will be a great resource for dairy
farmers, dairy associations, and dairy princesses all across the
country to bring this message to one of our number one consumers — the
youth of America." — Jenni (Drinkall) Skiba, Silver Star Jerseys, North
Branch, Minnesota
"This
book provides a heart-warming clip of what happens on a dairy farm.
Told through the eyes of a farm family, it gives young readers a
glimpse of both the miracles and work that happen continuously on a
dairy farm. Hats off to the little Chaney ladies for sharing their
story with other children who are not fortunate enough to grow up
surrounded by the marvels of agriculture and life." — Shelly Mayer,
dairy farmer and mom, Slinger, Wisconsin
