Ringing in the New Year with the ALA Youth Media Awards

The Youth Media Awards will be announced on the morning of January 11th during ALA's midwinter conference!  This is always an exciting time of year for Howe-Manning students!  We build up to the event with our own Mock Caldecott appropriately called the Howe-Mannicott award.  Students examine several books published in 2015 and, based on several criteria, try to predict the Caldecott and Newbery winners.  So...who will win the 2016 Caldecott Medal awarded for the most distinguished illustrations in a children's picture book? There are some great contenders this year.  Here are a few.  Click on the book covers for more information!

Here are a few contenders for the John Newbery Medal awarded to the author of the most distinguished contribution to American literature for children.
