Today is an exciting day, book lovers!! ALA announced award winners! Woohoo!!!
A big, fat congratulations to Kate DiCamillo on her Newbery Medal for Flora & Ulysses!!!
And I am absolutely stoked for my friend, Molly Idle, whose amazing book, Flora & the Flamingo is a Caldecott Honor book!! Congrats, Molly!!! I am so very proud for you! And friends, if you haven't read this adorable book, stop what you are doing and find a way to get a copy in your hands as soon as possible!!
Rainbow Rowell's Eleanor & Park was named a Printz Honor book. (And I think we all know how much I enjoyed this book!!)
Better Nate Than Never by Tim Federle was named an Odyssey Honor book. Love this author! And I absolutely melted at his tweet earlier today:
These are obviously just a handful of authors/books that I love. I have followed the careers of these authors and am just so thrilled for each of them! BUT, there are more amazing artists and more books that were honored.
