I'm not sure about A Bird Is A Bird, really, but for beginning learners, think it's a priceless book. Hope you enjoy Drowned City, although reliving that time was awful, too.

Last year's was The Right Word-such a beautiful book. I loved Drowned City, thought it was done so well.

I'm excited to see all the awards for sure! Thanks! And Annette, I think that some of the books don't fit certain groups. In my years of teaching, I had students read and love a broad variety of books. Sometimes I could not guess what would be the next coveted one.

I'm not a librarian, but it's hard for me to believe these books don't speak to lots of kids! http://blogs.slj.com/afuse8production/2015/12/21/guest-post-melissa-stewart-and-diversity-in-thinking/Annettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02251236377525751515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-78163865142808702912016-01-06T11:57:15.468-07:002016-01-06T11:57:15.468-07:00I'm much better at choosing titles I think sho...I'm much better at choosing titles I think should win, rather than those I think will win. Awards are such a funny thing, really - a group of adults choosing the best books when really they aren't part of the target audience at all. Sometimes I feel the winners are spot on, other times I wonder if anyone on the committee had ever been a child at all! So, we'll see who takes home the gold this year!Jane @ www.raincitylibrarian.cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12721142460522914540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-31439277201169664722016-01-06T09:44:08.247-07:002016-01-06T09:44:08.247-07:00I think 'favorites' came into my decision ...I think 'favorites' came into my decision too, Jane.
