2025

The new medal/honor winners have been announced. Not going to lie - most don't look all that interesting. I did read, last year, and enjoyed Across So Many Seas

I have begun library holds for the others.
Have posted the Caldecott's in the Caldecott group.
Giving a shout out to Life After Whale, which took the Robert F Sibert award. It is illustrated by Jason Chin who has won the Caldecott, previously. The awards seem to be branching out to ever-increasing bespoke niche specifications....And this year's award, for books,.... written by an author with a tattoo, that simultaneously knitted doilies while hiking in a remote mountain wilderness... goes to.... It seems that instead of these awards becoming a unifying agent they have, instead, become rather splintering.

Thank you for all you do here. I've been absent due to family/personal issues, but am slowly getting back into reading and LT.

>2 fuzzi: Welcome back, anytime. So sorry for all that you have been through. That is the nice thing about LT - even if I fall off the planet, this group will still be waiting for those that are inspired by it.
