August 2003: Lois Lowry and Vera B. Williams: U.S. Nominees for the 2004 Hans Christian Andersen Award
In early June, Lois Lowry and Vera B. Williams were chosen by a committee of the United States Board on Books for Young People (USBBY) as the U.S. author and illustrator nominees for the 2004 Hans Christian Andersen Awards, given every two years by the International Board on Books for Young People (IBBY). The Andersen Awards are given to an author and an illustrator, living at the time of nomination, who, by the outstanding value of the body of their work, are judged to have made a lasting contribution to literature for children. Member nations of IBBY forward nominees in each category for consideration. In August on CCBC-Net, we'll look at the work of Lois Lowry and Vera B. Williams in light of these nominations, examining each woman's contributions to the field of literature for the young.
September 2003: The Books of Naomi Shihab Nye
Poet Naomi Shihab Nye has created a variety of books for young readers, including poetry anthologies, picture books, and a young adult novel Habibi. As a Palestinian American she has also contributed an important voice in children's and young adult literature, writing from a perspective that is not often heard in the United States. On October 8, Ms. Nye will deliver the Sixth Annual Charlotte Zolotow Lecture on the UW-Madison campus.
