Hurrah for the NEWBERY AWARD, given annually for the best novel written for elementary children.This year's winner is, The Crossover, and the honor books are El Deafo, and Brown Girl Dreaming. On a hunch, I ordered these books for our library about 10 days ago. So when they announced the winners yesterday, I was able to put these winners out for our students to check out! One is a graphic novel, and the other two are poetic free verse. Two are autobiographies!

Monday is our Preschool library day. These eager, excited little listeners love stories and checking out books to share at home. Today we read the classic, The Rainbow Fish, all about sharing. It is a beautiful book with a great message and we had a wonderful time reading it to all four of our PreK classes.

Today all the second grade students listened to the Caldecott Medal winning, Thanksgiving Story by Alice Dalgliesh, copyright 1954. Today's children, beginners and advanced readers, will value the story about one family's first Thanksgiving in the Plymouth Colony, strikingly present in stylized, naive pictures like colored etchings. Giles, Constance and Damaris Hopkins are aboard the Mayflower, overcrowded when the Speedwell turns back to England. On the journey, the children's baby brother is born and named Oceanus; he will be one of the smallest in the company of settlers who endure the terrible first year in the New World and gather to celebrate the harvest the next November. The story ends with the great feast to which the colonists invited the Indian chief Massasoit, Squanto and their people who had helped the strangers survive hunger, cold and sickness.
