The LA Times reports that this year’s Newbery and Caldecott winners were announced this morning at the final day of the American Library Association’s annual meeting. Â The Newbery Medal went to Clare Vanderpool’s Moon Over Manifest; the Caledecott Medal (for illustration)Â went to A Sick Day for Amos McGee illustrated by Erin E Stead and written by Philip C Stead.
As a YA author, I tend to keep up with these awards and try to read each year’s winners. Â This year, I hadn’t heard of either of these books until the winners were announced. Â IÂ logged into my library portal to request a copy of Moon Over Manifest, and I’m already fourteenth in line! Â Which is great, because it means my community knows a good book when it sees one. Â I’m looking forward to reading this and deciding if it belongs in the must-read stack I keep for my nieces and nephews.
