I hope you will excuse the posting a few days after Feb. 1. The awards were decided upon yesterday, and I didn't want to wait until March to announce the winners.
The New York Public Library and the Ezra Jack Keats Foundation are pleased to announce that first-time children's book author Shirin Yim Bridges and illustrator Sophie Blackall have won the 2003 Ezra Jack Keats New Writer and New Illustrator Awards. The Awards, which recognize and celebrate promising children's book authors and illustrators, go to Ms. Bridges and Ms. Blackall for their picture book Ruby's Wish,published by Chronicle Books. The Award is named in honor of children's book author/illustrator Ezra Jack Keats (The Snowy Day), winner of the Caldecott Medal.
The Awards will be presented on April 24 at 5 p.m. at a ceremony open to the public at the Central Children's Room of the Donnell Library Center, 20 West 53rd Street in Manhattan. Both honorees will receive an Ezra Jack Keats silver medallion and a $1,000 cash prize, made possible through the Ezra Jack Keats Foundation. The winning book's publisher will also be able to affix an adhesive medallion to the cover of each book, identifying Ruby's Wish as the 2003 Ezra Jack Keats Award Winner.
