The full list of Youth Media Award honorees is now posted. The medal (which went to “The Eyes and the Impossible,” by Dave Eggers) and the medal (which went to “Big" by Vashti Harrison) are the best-known awards. But there are also lots of other awards honoring notable books and other creations of the past year. Check them out! ala.unikron.com/

While we're waiting for the new awardees, I'll note that all books awarded medals and honors in the 1920s are now freely readable online. You can find them here: onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/

FREEWATER Review: 5⭐ - A beautifully written, pretty much perfect #middlegrade adventure. Amina Luqman-Dawson takes inspiration from stories of 19th-century Black Americans living independently in the vast southern swampland where they kept themselves safe from the predation of plantations and the bounty hunters they employed.

I follow the Newberys in particular because I read a lot of the winners as a kid, and they're the oldest and one of the best-known ALA awards. The 1928 honorees just joined the public domain at the start of this month; online copies of them, earlier awardees, and selected later ones can be found here: onlinebooks.library.upenn.edu/. But the other, newer ALA awards are definitely worth checking out too.

@simon As a Children's Librarian who has encouraged his hundreds of #author friends (I've been on #Newbery Committee three times, they stack up), I have to say those people who think self-promotion of an author's #books here is wrong...are...well WRONG.
