Hello all,
The Center for Children's Books at the Graduate School of Library and Information Science at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is pleased to announce the 2013 Gryphon Award recipient, *Island: A Story of the Galбpa gos *, written and illustrated by Jason Chin and published by Roaring Brook. In the book, which the *Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books *calls “a visually eloquent, marvelously compact explanation of evolution,” gorgeous watercolor illustrations are composed in full-page spreads and helpful thumbnail panels to guide young readers through the scientific study of an ecosystem and evolution.
The Gryphon Award committee also recognized two honor books:
- *Little Dog Lost,* written and illustrated by Mфnica Carnesi and published by Penguin - *Bink and Gollie: Two for One*, written by Kate DiCamillo and Alison McGhee, illustrated by Tony Fucile, and published by Candlewick
The Gryphon Award is presented annually to the author of an outstanding English language work of fiction or non-fiction for which the primary audience is children in kindergarten through fourth grade. The title chosen best exemplifies those qualities that successfully bridge the gap in difficulty between books for reading aloud to children and books for practiced readers. More information about the award can be found at the CCB Gryphon Award webpage . A complete press release is available at the GSLIS newsroom
. Best,
