The American Library Association (ALA) Youth Media book awards are huge.
You can be sure that the books they select are the best-of-the-best. In other words, great choices to add to your child’s collection.
This year, the Newbery Medal went to Dead End In Norvelt, by Jack Gantos. Read more about it, and the runners-up, here.
And the Caldecott Medal was awarded to Chris Raschka, for A Ball For Daisy. More, here. (They don’t have 2012 information posted yet – this announcement was only made this morning – but probably by this afternoon they will.)
Congratulations to all of the ALA winners.
