Hello all of the Mock Newbery, Caldecott and Coretta Scott King Award rep orters,
I applaud these literary activities that engage children, teachers and parents and bring attention to these important books. As a teacher on the Navajo Reservation, I wish similar mock-award discussions were held regarding books by and about Native Americans. Although these books do receive review and attention with the American Indi an Library Association and Lacapa Spirit awards, their time in the spotli ght is less frequent and during another time of the year. Perhaps it could be a future topic of discussion to list and describe favorites.
Thank you,
