Philip Hoose is on the list, so it's not limited to African American authors, like the CSKing awards.<br /><br />Moira, hi! I'm glad you stopped by.<br /><br />Paige, agreed about the Draper book. I've heard great things about the Magoon book but haven't read it yet. Of course, I'm partial to Tanita's book; but I'm also surprised that Fly Girl isn't here. I thought it was a terrific work of historical fiction.<br /><br />Bill, I'm so weak on all these picture books; I haven't read a single one!Liz Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16671844475303001610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12461652.post-10501199446377582202010-01-10T18:57:23.463-05:002010-01-10T18:57:23.463-05:00Loved Peeny Butter Fudge and A Negro Speaks of Riv...Loved Peeny Butter Fudge and A Negro Speaks of Rivers, especially the illustrations in the second one.Billhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02857533158914419857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12461652.post-62441106617472859152010-01-10T08:38:37.611-05:002010-01-10T08:38:37.611-05:00I didn't know about this award either.

I have only read Just Another Hero (and quite frankly thought it was one of Draper's weaker books) but I have Claudette Colvin on my table to read this month (hopefully) and will pull The Rock and the River as a to-read.Paige Y.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09823929357425078374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12461652.post-4883273343957891242010-01-09T21:56:07.276-05:002010-01-09T21:56:07.276-05:00ME TOO.
