Caroline Arnold, the distinguished author and illustrator of 130 books for children, will receive the Washington Post-Children's Book Guild Nonfiction Award this year. Arnold's longstanding love of animals and outdoor life has inspired such books as Birds: Nature's Magnificent Flying Machines and Pterosaurs: Rulers of the Skies in the Dinosaur Age. She also writes about sports and geography, and even about ancient cultures, as in her books on Easter Island and Australian aborigines. Illustrator Brian Selznick and author Donna Jo Napoli are also featured speakers for the event.
This year's luncheon will be held at the Capital Hilton Hotel, 1001 16th St. N.W. (Farragut North Metro), Washington, DC, on Saturday, November 12 at noon. Book sales and signings will begin at 10 AM and will continue after lunch. Reservations may be made at http://www.childrensbookguild.org/luncheon05.html
At 10 AM, Smithsonian Resident Associates will hold a seminar featuring award winning authors and illustrators who are members of the Children's Book Guild. Elisa Carbone, Janet Stoeke and Laura Melmed will talk about their careers and offer practical advice on writing, illustrating and publishing children's books.
