What a Valentine’s Day treat! Yesterday, the winners of the 2010 Cybils Awards were announced, and it’s a sweet group. A special congratulations to Joyce Sidman (Red Sings from Treetops) and Liz Garton Scanlon (All the World) for their wins in the Poetry and Picture Book categories, respectively!
The short lists in each category and winner list give you a great starting point if you want to read some of the best kids’/teen books published in the past year–books that combine literary merit with kid appeal.
