2010 Charlotte Zolotow Award Announced
What Can You Do with a Paleta? by Carmen Tafolla, illustrated by Magaly Morales, has just been named the winner of the 2010 Charlotte Zolotow Award, awarded by the UW-Madison Cooperative Children’s Book Center (CCBC). This award, created in 1998, is given for the best picture book text published in the United States, and is named to honor the work of children’s book editor and author Charlotte Zolotow.
In addition to the Zolotow Award, the CCBC selected three honor books: Birds by Kevin Henkes, illustrated by Laura Dronzek; Pouch! by David Ezra Stein; and Princess Hyacinth: (The Surprising Story of a Girl Who Floated) by Florence Parry Heide, illustrated by Lane Smith.

Our own Hawthorne Branch Youth Services Librarian, Tracy Moore, was on the committee that chose the award!
And, everyone can meet Kevin Henkes and Laura Dronzek, creators of honor book Birds, at the Sequoya Branch on January 24.
