Hi everyone. The Wisconsin Library Association's Youth Services Section has a Children's Book Award Committee that looks at books published in the previous year that are written and/or illustrated by book creators with a significant Wisconsin connection. This year we looked at over 80 titles for children and teens. I'm pleased to announce this year's selection for the Elizabeth Burr/Worzalla award:

The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman,illustrated by Dave McKean published by HarperCollins.

The committee also chose five outstanding titles (WI artists in bold):

Old Bear and Bird Lake Moon by Kevin Henkes (both published by Greenwillow) It's Not Fair illustrated by Tom Lichtenheld, written by Amy Krause Rosenthal (HarperCollins) The Adventures of Sir Lancelot the Great written by Gerald Morris, illustrated by Aaron Renier (Houghton Mifflin) Monsoon Afternoon by Kashmira Sheth, illustrated by Yoshiko Jaeggi (Peachtree)
