Congrats to all the storytellers/illustrators, editor Matt Dembicki, and

Fulcrum Press for producing TRICKSTER: NATIVE AMERICAN TALES - A GRAPHIC

COLLECTION, which won this year's Aesop Award (conferred annually by the

Children’s Folklore Section of the American Folklore Society upon English language books for children and young adults, both fiction and nonfiction ) ! _http://www.afsnet.org/?page®sop_ (http://www.afsnet.org/?page®sop )

TRICKSTER is an anthology of Native American oral narratives presented in

graphic novel form. 1?pf _rd_t 1&pf_rd_pG0938631&pf_rd_iP7846_ 7846)

Both the book (and the Aesop Award) deserve wider recognition. For starters, I've nominated TRICKSTER for the Cybils Awards.

Here's to the continued preservation of endangered cultural heirlooms...a

priceless inheritance.

Best, Lucine Kasbarian _www.lucinekasbarian.com_ (http://www.lucinekasbarian.com)
