On Saturday, January 10, nearly 35 library staff met at the Salem
(Oregon) Public Library to learn about the Caldecott medal, the official American Library Association process for choosing the winner and honor books, and how to analyze the art in picture books with the Caldecott Medal in mind. We discussed 10 outstanding picture books and then voted on our top choices. I want to thank presenters Nell Colburn and Steven Engelfried who opened our eyes to new ways of looking at picture book illustration, and to Kate Carter, Ronit Fahl, and Jackie Partch for helping me to organize the workshop, choose the discussion books, update the handouts and act as discussion facilitators. I also want to thank BJ Quinlan for hosting the workshop in Salem. The workshop is an annual learning opportunity offered by the Oregon Library Association (OLA) Children's Services Division. Please consider joining us for the 2010 workshop (date to be determined).
The honor books were: What to Do about Alice? by Barbara Kerley and illustrated by Edwin Fotheringham Wabi Sabi by Mark Reibstein and illustrated by Ed Young River of Words by Jan Bryant and illustrated by Melissa Sweet
The winner of the 2009 OLA Mock Caldecott Award was Silent Music, written and illustrated by James Rumford.
The actual 2009 Caldecott Medal will be announced during the American Library Association's Youth Media Awards Press Conference live Webcast at 7:45 a.m. PST on Monday, January 26, 2009.
