"Big Red Lollipop" by Rukhsana Khan is the fourteenth annual winner of the Charlotte Zolotow Award for outstanding writing in a picture book. The award is given by the Cooperative Children's Book Center, a library of the School of Education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and will be formally presented on March 5, 2011 in Madison, WI.
Author Rukhsana Khan’s first-person narrative tells the story of Rubina,
who’s thrilled to receive her first invitation to a classmate’s birthda y party. But when her mother, unfamiliar with this cultural tradition, insists that she take her younger sister along to the party, the whole event is ruined for Rubina. Khan realistically and humorously presents sibling conflict in an authentic child voice as she shows a young girl successfully negotiating two cultures. Big Red Lollipop was edited by Catherine Frank and published in the United States in 2010 by Viking, an imprint of the Penguin Group.
The 2011 Zolotow Award committee named four Honor Books: "April and Esme, Tooth Fairies," written and illustrated by Bob Graham, edited by Joan Powers, and published by Candlewick Press; "City Dog, Country Frog," written by Mo Willems, illustrated by Jon J Muth, edited by Christian Trimmer, and published by Hyperion / Disney Book Group; "Hip-Pocket Papa," written by Sandra Markle, illustrated by Alan Marks, edited by Emily Mitchell, and published by Charlesbridge; and "A Sick Day for Amos McGee," written by Philip C. Stead, illustrated by Erin E. Stead, edited by Neal Porter, a Neal Porter Book / Roaring Brook Press.
The 2011 Zolotow Award committee also cited six titles as Highly Commended: "A Beach Tail," written by Karen Lynn Williams and illustrated by Floyd Cooper (Boyds Mills Press); "Chavela and the Magic Bubble," written by Monica Brown and illustrated by Magaly Morales (Clarion Books / Houghton Mifflin Harcourt); "I Am a Backhoe," written and illustrated by Anna Grossnickle Hines (Tricycle Press / Crown Publishing Group / Random House Children’s Books); "Little Black Crow,"
written and illustrated by Chris Raschka (Atheneum / Simon & Schuster); "My Garden," written and illustrated by Kevin Henkes (Greenwillow / HarperCollins); and "Willoughby & the Moon," written and illustrated by Greg Foley (Balzer & Bray / HarperCollins).
Established in 1998, the Charlotte Zolotow Award honors the work of Charlotte Zolotow, a distinguished children's book editor for 38 years with Harper Junior Books, and author of more than 70 picture books, including such classic works as "Mr. Rabbit and the Lovely Present," (Harper, 1962) and "William's Doll" (Harper, 1972). Ms. Zolotow attended the University of Wisconsin in Madison on a writing scholarship from 1933 to 1936, where she studied with Professor Helen C. White. The award is given annually for outstanding writing in a picture book for children in the birth through seven age range published in the United States in the preceding year.
