The height of the year in the world of children's literature is the announcement of the annual winners of the Caldecott and Newbery Award. Yesterday, the American Library Association announced this year's winners of these and other prestigious book awards. The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate won the 2013 Newbery Medal for "the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children." The book has also been nominated for New Hampshire's Great Stone Face Award.
This is Not My Hat, written and illustrated by Jon Klassen, won the Caldecott Award for "the most distinguished American picture book for children." It turned out to be a great year for Jon Klassen. His illustrations for Extra Yarn earned him a Caldecott Honor award as well.
