INVITATION TO THE JANE ADDAMS CHILDREN'S BOOK AWARDS - 2005
You are invited to attend the presentations of the 52nd Jane Addams Children's Book Awards on Friday, October 21, at 2:30 PM in New York City at 777 United Nations Plaza (2nd Floor) on the corner of 44th St. and 1st Ave. These awards honor books with themes of peace and social justice, conflict resolution, community cooperation, and the equality of genders and all races. An annual event, the ceremony offers a memorable afternoon of presentations, responses by honorees or their representatives, and an opportunity to meet and talk with each honored guest. This year, we are expecting honorees Youme Landowne, Ann Bausum, James Rumford, William Low, Javaka Steptoe and Deborah Ellis to be present to accept their awards. A reception and book signing will follow the presentations, with the honored books available for purchase, courtesy of Bank Street Bookstore.
The winner in the Books for Younger Children category is _S?lavi: A Haitian Story of Hope_, written and illustrated by Youme Landowne, from Cinco Puntos Press. In the category of Books for Older Children, the winner is _With Courage and Cloth: Winning the Fight for a Woman's Right to Vote_, by Ann Bausum, published by National Geographic Society.
Three books have won Honors in the Books for Younger Children category: from Clarion Books, _Hot Day on Abbott Avenue_ written by Karen English with collage art by Javaka Steptoe; _Henry and the Kite Dragon_, authored by Bruce Edward Hall, with paintings by William Low, published by Philomel Books/Penguin Young Readers Group; and Houghton Mifflin's _Sequoyah: The Cherokee Man Who Gave His People Writing_ written and illustrated by James Rumsford and translated by Anna Sixkiller Huckaby. In the category of Honor Books for Older Children, Deborah Ellis has been recognized for her book, _The Heaven Shop_, published by Fitzhenry & Whiteside.
Members of the 2005 Jane Addams Children's Book Awards Committee are Donna Barkman, Chair (Ossining, New York), Dionne Delancy (Brooklyn, New York), Eliza T. Dresang (Tallahassee, Florida), Susan C. Griffith (Mt. Pleasant, Michigan), Margaret Jensen (Madison, Wisconsin), Jo Montie (Minneapolis, MN), Suzanne Martell (Harwich, Massachusetts), Deborah Taylor (Baltimore, Maryland), Pat Wiser (Sewanee, Tennessee) and Lorrie Wright (Juneau, Alaska).
