Here's what we'll be talking about the rest of the year on CCBC-Net :
November:
First Half of Month: "A Paucity of Picture Books." We can s ee it on the shelves: fewer picture books are being published. A recent
New York Times article (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/08/us/08 pic ture.html?_r=1) says that the picture book “is fading ,” no ting that not only are fewer being produced but also stating that fewer parents are turning to picture books, especially for school-age child ren. But production costs and bookstore sales can’t tell the whole p icture book story. During the first half of November on CCBC-Net, w e invite you to share your stories and observations about current picture book publishing and its impact on children, schools and libraries,
as well as your thoughts on the importance of this singular literary for m.
Second Half of the Month: "National Book Award Youth Literature Fin a lists." During the second half of November on CCBC-Net, we’ ll di scuss the five finalists for the 2010 National Book Award for Young Peop le’s Literature: Dark Water by Laura McNeal (Alfred A. Knopf) , L ockdown by Walter Dean Myers (Amistad/HarperCollins), Mockingbird by K athryn Erskine (Philomel), One Crazy Summer by Rita Williams-Garcia (A mistad/HarperCollins), and Ship Breaker by Paolo Bacigalupi (Little=2 C Brown).
