This has been a great year!
My favorite book of the year has been Elizabeth Partridge's Marching for Fr eedom. I see it as a perfect balance of text and photographs, for a great e xample of the photo-essay, one of my favorite genres. I find both the writi ng and the design equally distinguished. This is the one I'd be most excite d to see with a Newbery sticker on it. An important and beautiful book.
Other Newbery-type books I've especially liked are Claudette Colvin, A Seas on of Gifts, When You Reach Me, Leviathan, and Catching Fire.
My favorite Caldecott possibilities are Jerry Pinkney's The Lion & the Mous e and Scanlon & Frazee's All the World.
Still on my stack to read soon are some of the most talked about YA titles: Crossing Stones, Marcelo in the Real World, Lips Touch, and Shooting Star.
