WOW! I got up 15 minutes earlier than usual today, so I’d be showered and have coffee when they announcements began. And I made a second pot of coffee part way through. Here’s what I am most excited about:
THE NEWBERY: Flora & Ulysses!!!!! and The Year of Billy Miller was an honor book.
THE BELPRE AWARD: Niño Wrestles the World and Yaqui Delgado Wants to Kick Your Ass!!!
SCHNEIDER FAMILY AWARD: A Splash of Red and Rose Under Fire
YALSA NONFICTION AWARD: The Nazi Hunters
What an emotional morning. I have to go and present to 4th grade teachers now,all wired on caffeine and excitement.
