While I cannot reveal details of the National Book Award judging and selection process, I can assure you that no entry was overlooked or scorned by any member of our committee. We celebrate the fact that the ALA has recognized Kate DiCamillo's delightful Tale of Despereaux, as well as other titles we did not name. We delight and applaud the diversity of their choices. Congratulations on a hard job, well done, ALA!
