AND THE WINNERS ARE....don't we all get excited at those words? We have some wonderful and pleasurable reading ahead of us this year. The John Newbery Medal for the most outstanding contribution to children's literature was awarded to Jack Gantos for his book "Dead end in Norvelt." Jack Gantos is a past Newbery honor winner for "Joey Pigza loses control."
The Newbery Honor books this year are "Inside out and back again" by Thanhha Lai, and "Breaking Stalin's nose" by Eugene Yelchin. The Randolph Caldecott Medal for the most distinguished American picture book for children was given to Chris Rashka for "A Ball for Daisy." Three honorees were named this year. "Blackout" by John Rocco, "Grandpa Green" by Lane Smith, and "Me... Jane" by Patrick McDonnell. All of the Caldecott books can be found at Hoover IMC and the Newbery winners will soon join them. Happy Reading!
