And The Award Goes To...

Yesterday, the Association for Library Service to Children (a branch of the American Library Association) announced the winners for the Caldecott, Newberry and  Printz medals, along with many other awards!

Caldecott: This is Not my Hat by Jon Klassen

Newbery: The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate

Printz: In Darkness by Nick Lake

For the other winners visit the ALSC web site. 

And don’t forget the Orange Mock Caldecott Award! Based on votes from the Orange community, the Orange Mock Caldecott goes to…drumroll, please... Homer by Elisha Cooper. The runner-ups, who were very close, were Oh No! by Candace Fleming and Unspoken by Henry Cole.
