It's so exciting to see what they choose every year. This year's winners are (drum roll please):
Newbery: KIRA-KIRA by Cynthia Kadohata
Caldecott: KITTEN'S FIRST FULL MOON by Kevin Henkes
I've already ordered both from Amazon, along with the three Caldecott Honor books:
THE RED BOOK written and illustrated by Barbara Lehman
COMING ON HOME SOON illustrated by E.B. Lewis
KNUFFLE BUNNY: A CAUTIONARY TALE, written and illustrated by Mo Willems.
Once again, the majority of Caldecott winners both wrote and illustrated their books. Always an interesting observation.
The big announcement is a new award named for Theodor Seuss Geisel (Dr. Seuss). The first winner will be announced in 2006. How wonderfully appropriate that is. ALA - American Library Association
