What a way to finish up a week that was already pretty good... this, from the National Book Festival's website:
Every year, a list of books representing the literary heritage of the 50 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands is distributed by the Library of Congress's Center for the Book during the National Book Festival.
And this year's selection for the state of New Hampshire is...
The Iciest, Diciest, Scariest Sled Ride Ever!

With the National Book Festival happening this weekend in DC, I was looking over their webpages. On the "Educator's Share" page is this:
Every year, a list of books representing the literary heritage of the 50 states, the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands is distributed by the Library of Congress's Center for the Book during the National Book Festival. Why not read the book suggested for your state or district and then learn, through these books, about the other places that interest you?
I downloaded the page and am happy to see Debby Dahl Edwardson's outstanding My Name Is Not Easy, a finalist for the National Book Award, on the Alaska list:

The book on the bottom is Awesiinyensag. Here's a larger image of it:
Available from Birchbark Books, Awesiiyensag is written entirely in Anishinaabemowin, which is the language spoken by the Ojibwe people. It is a big hit in Minnesota and was featured last year at the National Book Festival.
Congratulations, Debby, and Wiigwaas Press! I'm glad to see your work featured in DC.
Hurrah for us Jennifer Thermes!
Congratulations from NH!
