Prize Winners in Children's Literature

On Monday, January 18 the American Library Association announced the winners of the two most prestigious prizes in children's literature. When You Reach Me  by Rebecca Stead won the Newbery Medal for best children's book and Jerry Pinkney's The Lion and the Mouse won the Caldecott Prize for best picture book. When You Reach Me was inspired by Madeleine L'Engle's timeless classic and previous Newbery winner, A Wrinkle in Time. It is a time-traveling story about a sixth-grader named Miranda, set in New York City in the 1970s. The Lion and the Mouse is a wordless retelling of the classic Aesop fable about a mouse who helps a lion, proving that an underdog can be as mighty as a king.
