For those of you who might have missed the big announcement today at ALA--the ALA Youth Media Award winners were announced. That's right! The top books, video and audiobooks for children and young adults were named– including the Caldecott, Coretta Scott King, Newbery and Printz awards – at its Midwinter Meeting in San Diego.
A list of all the award winners can be found at The American Library Association Website, but here are just a few...

The Printz to Ship Breaker

Also,
Grace Lin took home the Geisel Honor (one of my favorite awards) for Ling & Ting: Not Exactly the Same!

Congratulations go out to ALL the winners and honorees!
I love all the various awards -- always fun to see the wide array of titles and styles and content. So many wonderful books!
ReplyDeleteYou're so right, Debbie! It also makes my to-be-read pile a little bit bigger! :)
