JANUARY 2001
Annual Book Awards: We'll launch the new year by examining the National Book Award winner Homeless Bird
(HarperCollins) by Gloria Whelan and the four finalists. The finalists, named in November, are: Forgotten Fire (A Melanie Kroupa Book, DK Ink) by Adam Bagdasarian; The Book of the Lion
(Viking) by Michael Cadnum; Many Stones
(Front Street) by Carolyn Coman; and Hurry Freedom! (Crown) by Jerry Stanley. All were published during 2000.
During January, we'll announce the fourth winner of the CCBC's Charlotte Zolotow Award, Zolotow Honor Books and Zolotow Highly Commended Books - all of them representing outstanding writing in picture books for young children through age seven years. Watch for this information sometime during the second week of this month. Meanwhile, you might want to find out more about the Charlottw Zolotow Award by visiting http://www.education.wisc.edu/ccbc/zolotow.htm
Beginning January 15th, CCBC-Net welcomes your informal, initial responses to the ALA Award News to be announced that day in Washington, D.C., during the American Library Association's Midwinter Conference.
Later during the same week - after you've had a chance to look for or look at some of these books - we'll begin discussing the winner and honor books for the Newbery Award and Caldecott Award.

From February 1, we'll discuss the Coretta Scott King Award Award winners for outstanding writing and illustration by African Americans; and from February 16(, we'll discuss the Michael L. Printz Award winner and honor books for distinguished writing for teenagers.
MARCH 2001
Annual Book Awards III: We'll conclude our discussion of the annual award winners this month with a discussion of the Robert F. Sibert Award winner and honor books for outstanding nonfiction from March 1. This is the first year the newest ALA/ALSC award will be given.

APRIL 2001
Marc Simont has been illustrating picture books since 1939, and he is still going strong with the publication of his latest book, The Stray Dog (HarperCollins, 2001). This month we'll discuss The Stray Dog, along with the body of his work. He has written more than 100 books, including The 13 Clocks by James Thurber; The Philharmonic Gets Dressed by Karla Kuskin; the Nate the Great series by Marjorie Sharmat; and the 1957 Caldecott Medal winner A Tree Is Nice by Janice May Udry.
Later in April, we'll look back at some of the books of Robert Cormier, author of young adult classics such as The Chocolate War, I Am the Cheese, and After the First Death.
