And the Award Goes To.....
2012 Caldecott and Newbery Winners
Each year the American Library Association awards the Caldecott and Newbery Medals tfir excellence in children's literature. The Caldecott is given to the artist of the most distinguished American picture book of the year and the Newbery is given to the author of the most distinguished American children's book of the year. The Caldecott was first awarded in 1937, while the first Newbery was awarded in 1922.
The winner of the Caldecott medal was A Ball for Daisy by Chris Raschka. In a wordless book
with huge children's appeal, Chris Raschka gives us the story of an irrepressible little dog whose most prized possession is accidently destroyed. With economy of line and color, Raschka captures Daisy's total (yet temporary) devastation. It's a buoyant tale of loss, recovery and friendship.
The winner of the Newbery medal is Dead End in Norvelt by Jack Gantos. The importance of 
reading (so you don't do the same stupid stuff again) is at the heart of this achingly funny romp through a dying New Deal town. While mopping up epic nose bleeds, Jack narrates this screw-ball mystery in an endearing and believable voice.
