A clear favorite emerged last evening following a thorough discussion of eleven of the books eligible for the 1999 Coretta Scott King Book Award for Authors.

CCBC Discussion Winner:

The Skin I'm In, a novel written by Sharon G. Flake (Jump at the Sun / Hyperion, 1998)

CCBC Discussion Honor Books:

1) Amistad: A Long Road to Freedom written by Walter Dean Myers (Dutton, 1998);

2) Duke Ellington: The Piano Prince and His Orchestra written by Andrea Davis Pinkney and illustrated by Brian Pinkney (Hyperion, 1998); and

3) From Slave Ship to Freedom Road written by Julius Lester to accompany paintings by Rod Brown (Dial, 1998).

This was one of three discussions co-sponsored throughout 1998? by the Madison Metropolitan School District and the CCBC. Thanks to Judy King and Madge Klais for working with the CCBC staff to continue our partnership for this and other professional development opportunities.
