Publishers Lunch
The ALA presented
their many Youth Media
Awards this morning on the closing day of their winter meeting
in Philadelphia. The Newbery medal went to Kate DiCamillo for FLORA
AND ULYSSES (Candlewick), and the Caldecott went to Brian Floca for LOCOMOTIVE
(S&S Children's), which he wrote and illustrated. DiCamillo won the
Newbery previously for her 2003 novel, THE
TALE OF DESPEREAUX (and her BECAUSE
OF WINN-DIXIE was a Newbery Honor Book).
Among other honorees, Marcus Sedgwick won
the Michael L. Printz Award for MIDWINTER
BLOOD (Roaring Brook Press) and Markus
Zusak won the Margaret A. Edwards Award for "significant and lasting
contribution to young adult literature."
The Coretta Scott King author
award went to Rita Williams-Garcia for P.S.
BE ELEVEN; the illustrator award was given to Bryan Collier for KNOCK
KNOCK: My Dad’s Dream for Me, written by Daniel Beaty.
