2017 Award Winners Announced
John Newbery Award Winner
Every year, the people of the Protectorate leave a baby as an offering to the witch who lives in the forest. They hope this sacrifice will keep her from terrorizing their town. But the witch in the forest, Xan, is kind and gentle. What happens when Xan feeds one of these sacrificial babies moonlight and locks a deep magic inside of her? An unusual coming-of-age fairy tale sure to be a classic. Summary adapated from a Goodreads review.
Caldecott Winner & Coretta Scott King Illustrator Winner
Jean-Michael Basquiat and his unique, collage-style paintings rocketed to fame in the 1980s as a cultural phenomenon unlike anything the art world had ever seen. But before that, he was a little boy who saw art everywhere: in poetry books and museums, in games and in the words that we speak, and in the pulsing energy of New York City. Now, award-winning illustrator Javaka Steptoe's vivid text and bold artwork echoing Basquiat's own introduce young readers to the powerful message that art doesn't always have to be neat or clean--and definitely not inside the lines--to be beautiful. Review from Amazon.
Michael L. Prinz Award & Coretta Scott King Author Award.
The conclusion of the March trilogy, which tells the story of Congressman John Lewis' participation and leadership during the Civil Rights Movement. This volume begins in 1963. To continue with their nonviolent revolution, Lewis and an army of young activists launch a series of innovative campaigns, including the Freedom Vote, Mississippi Freedom Summer, and an all-out battle for the soul of the Democratic Party waged live on national television.
