Yesterday morning the American Library Association announced the winners of the Newbery, Caldecott, and other children's book awards. These awards have been around for decades, and they are given to authors and illustrators for excellence in children’s literature.
The Sullivan University Library & Learning Resource Center in Lexington has some of the titles that either won or received an honor yesterday. If you want more information about the American Library Association’s awards click on the award. For more information about the individual books, click on their titles. You will be taken to the library’s online catalog that has reviews and other information about the books.
