This week we have had many discussions about the different awards children's literature and young adult books can receive. We began our discussion with the Pura Belpre medal since the author of Esperanza Rising was the recipient of this award. We also discussed the Newbery Medal well as the the Caldecott Medal. Here is a link to the Association for Library Services to Children's website which not only has more information on these awards but also link to past winners and honors. With the help of several students I have pulled numerous books out of my library that have been past recipients. Students often struggle to find books to read so I have emphasized to them that if they see a book has been honored, chances are it is an awesome book and worth reading!
