Sounds like a law firm, doesn’t it?
I’m going to mention the Schneider Award for one reason and one reason only: The winner of the middle school category is Tracie Vaughn Zimmer for Reaching for Sun. The announcement of this book was heralded by some definite whoops in the audience.
The Coretta Scott King author award goes to no big surprise here Elijah of Buxton, by Christopher Paul
I have not read ANY of the Printz books yet. Only heard of ONE of them. Clearly I am slacking off big time, or else just hopelessly uncool.
And I thought the Carnegie Medal was reserved for Weston Woods? Shocking!
Let's not forget the Sibert Honor books, which include one of my favorites for the year, Brian Floca's LIGHTSHIP. I'd have loved to see it get a Caldecott Honor but maybe they'll save that for the Apollo 13 book he's working on right now...
Sorry... Apollo 11. I knew that. Just typed it wrong.
Really.
YES! Reaching for Sun! YES!
Em, I hadn't heard of the Printz books either except for the one I read - which I thought was an older book - so I'm not really so well aware either.
Tim, HI! I was trying to get down on the Sibert Honor books, but the titles went by so fast and then my system crashed and it was post then or forever hold my peace.
LW, I wish you could have heard the very distinct Whoop! noises that came after that announcement that did not appear with the other two titles in that award. It was funny - and echoed by me at home.
Okay,this is my non-book admission here, but William (a six-year old) LOVES Jump-In. Having seen it now too many times to count, I can say that it isn't a bad movie. It's got a great message about following your dreams. It also made me want to jump rope again. :-o
