Newbery Medal winners

The John Newbery Medal is a literary award given by the Association of Library Services for Children. The award is given to the author of the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children. Named for John Newbery, an 18th century English publisher of juvenile books, the Newbery Medal was proposed by Frederick G. Melcher in 1921, making it the first children's book award in the world.The medal was designed by Rene Paul Chambellan and depicts on an author giving his work (a book) to a boy and a girl to read.

You can find a selection of the Cadwallader Library's Newbery medal winners on my desk. For a complete list of winners click on http://www.ala.org/alsc/awardsgrants/bookmedia/newberymedal/newberymedal

Something to think about

We could learn a lot from crayons.
Some are sharp, some are pretty and
some are dull. Some have weird
names and all are different colors,
but they all have to live in the same box.

Author of the month (upper grades)

Sharon Creech

Sharon Creech is an American writer of children's novels. She was the first American winner of the Carnegie Medal for British children's books and the first person to win both the American Newbery Medal and the British Carnegie.

Sharon Creech was born in South Euclid, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland, where she grew up with her parents (Ann and Arvel), one sister (Sandy), and three brothers (Dennis, Doug and Tom). She often used to visit her cousins in Quincy, Lewis County, Kentucky, which has found its way into many of her books as fictional Bybanks, Kentucky. Bybanks appears in Walk Two Moons, Chasing Redbird and Bloomability and there is an allusion to Bybanks in The Wanderer.

 You can find many of her fabulous books here in the Cadwallader library, including "Absolutely Normal Chaos", Walk Two Moons", "Ruby Holler", "Bloomability", "Hate That Cat" and "Love That Dog".
