A
Hi
I'm
Jerry
high
youth
services
manager
at
the
Ames
Public
Library
welcome
to
well
read
a
program
about
a
little
bit
of
this
and
a
little
bit
of
that
at
your
aims,
public
library.
Today
we
are
focusing
on
award-winning
books
in
the
children's
realm
in
January,
it's
kind
of
like
the
movie
perfect
things
awards
academy
awards
for
for
our
books,
and
this
year
was
no
different,
but
there
were
some
trends
that
we
saw.
Our
fantasies
grew
a
little
bit.
Darker
were
characters
were
somewhat
more
developed
and
with
lies
versus
storytelling.
A
We
also
broached
a
little
bit
into
the
diversity
of
our
of
our
world
and
how
we
can
be
accepting
and
welcoming
to
everyone
in
our
society.
In
addition
to
that,
our
awards
kind
of
went
with
some
of
the
biographies
and
in
about
people.
So
characterization
is
again
very
important
throughout
the
whole
realm
of
what
happened
in
2014.
So
with
me,
today,
I've
brought
in
some
of
our
youth
service
experts.
A
We
have
miss
Danielle
and
Miss
Mary
Jen
and
miss
Anastasia,
and
we
all
have
our
own
little
parts
of
the
youth
services
world
that
we'd
like
to
read,
but
we
also
are
very
well
balanced
in
what
we
have
read.
So
we're
going
to
start
out
today
with
our
oldest
a
word
that
is
available
or
has
given
every
year
in
January
our
John
Newbery,
Award
winning
and
now
this
happens
to
be
an
award.
A
That's
given
for
literary
merit
for
our
driven
Oh
fiction
and
why
a
fiction
for
for
the
the
literature
not
illustrations
but
the
literature
part,
and
this
year's
John
Newbery
Medal
winner,
is
the
crossover
and
the
crossover
is
a
wonderful
story
about
a
young
man
and
his
brother,
yen
and
basketball.
So
who
would
like
to
you
know,
give
a
little
bit
more
in-depth
a
reason
why
this
one
that
are
John
Newbery
work.
Well,.
B
First
of
all,
you
people
can
say
it's
about
basketball,
and
you
know
kids,
who
love
sports,
are
gonna
really
connect
to
that
part.
I
am
not
a
sports
player.
You
look
at
me,
you
don't
think
sports,
I'm
pretty
sure,
but
I
read
it
and
I
loved
it
so
much
the
character
again
with
the
characterization
these
two
brothers.
It's
about
these
two
boys
they're
14
years
old,
they're,
young
they're,
twins
and
they've,
always
been
together.
They've
always
been
each
other's
favorite
person
and
they're
starting
to
grow
up
and
one
is
really
trying
to
separate.
B
A
What
I
also
liked
as
well,
is
how
the
book
is
set
up
in
the
chapters
and
I
have
one
place
march,
where
he
starts
about
the
basketball
rules
number
one
and
throughout
the
book,
and
then
our
first
quarter.
You
know,
and
then
he
goes
into
the
first
quarter
of
what
the
story
is
all
about
and
introducing
the
two
brothers,
but.
C
D
C
B
D
D
They
say
one
more
thing
about
that
part
of
the
awards
thing
is
we
all
try
to
predict
them
all
year,
long
and
tanvi
predicted
this
one
last
summer
she
said
this
is
it.
This
is
the
excellent
book.
This
is
the
most
excellent
book
and
I
remember
in
november
her
holding
in
singh.
This
is
the
one
so
I
want
to
give
her
props
for
family.
Well,.
C
C
A
Wonderful,
you
know,
so
it
didn't
go
left
unnoticed
at
all
and
again
it's
in
that
verse
and
a
wonderful
story
who
would
like
to
share
about
what
the
stories
Mary.
C
A
C
D
It's
especially
kids
that
are
thinking
about
being
writers,
that
is.
D
Of
her,
because
it
is
very
autobiographical
to
her
life
and
she
was
not
a
reader
when
she
was
a
young
girl,
and
so
it's
good
to
get
that
perspective
too.
And
it
talks
about
when
she
gets
her
first
blank
notebook
and
she
can't
even
write
and
how
magical
it
is
when
she
can
write
her
name
and
just
how
that
develops
and
how
she
finds
the
words
and
she
finds
the
words
to
share
with
her
family
and
the
one
you
were
just
showing.
Was.
D
A
Some
of
the
struggles
that
she
has
being
black
or
being
african-american
in
a
time
that
the
world
was
struggling.
Yes
with
that,
which
is
a
nice
jumping
point
2,
I'm
going
to
jump
away
from
the
newbery
award
and
because
this
one
another
trend
in
the
award-giving
was
that
many
of
the
same
titles
were
highlighted.
And/Or
honored
in
different
other
words,
and
this
one
also
won
the
Coretta
Scott
King
award,
and
so
we
have
others
that
are
in
there.
A
B
B
B
Her
dad
was
one
of
the
first
african-american
officers
in
the
army,
and
so
she
writes
it
about
growing
up
in
in
that
situation,
in
being
an
army
brat
and
really
not
only
being
different,
because
of
that
but
being
different,
because
you
know
there
weren't
very
many
other.
Can
american
kids
and
it's
a
very
it's
it's
good
to
so.
A
In
another
book
that
one,
an
honor
book
was
how
it
went
down,
but
so
we're
going
to
jump
back
to
the
finish
are
our
new
berry
winners
and
again
this
is
a
very
unique
one,
as
well
l
doubtful
and
by
CC
bell,
and
this
one
is
not
necessarily
it's
a
verse
in
the
way
that
it's
about
a
handicap
yeah
that
a
person
has,
and
it's
very
unique
in
the
fact
that
it's
a
graphic
novel.
Oh.
B
Year
I
remember
reading
it
and
just
thinking
wow
she
did
a
great
job.
This
is
about.
This
is
another
autobiographical
book.
This
is
a
by
an
author
and
illustrator
named
CC
bell
and
when
CC
was
four
years
old,
she
got
meningitis
and
no
longer
could
hear,
and
it's
about
her
growing
up
in
the
1970s
with
no
here
without
being
able
to
hear-
and
she
was
also
mainstreamed
almost
immediately
because
she
lived
in
a
small
town.
B
So
it's
about
her
growing
up
and
she
develops
his
superhero
character
for
herself
and
she
calls
it
LD,
fo
and
her
superpower
is
that
she
gives
her
teachers,
this
high-powered
high-powered
hearing
anything
to
wear
around
their
neck,
and
so
she
can
hear
them
anywhere
in
the
building
she-kit
in
its
in
the
1970s.
So
she
can
hear
them,
maybe
taking
a
smoke
break.
B
B
It
is
very
cool
good
today,
so
it's
it's
great,
because
it
shows
this
this
little
girl
growing
up,
and
it's
also
not
just
about
her
being
deaf.
It's
about
her
struggling
with
making
friendships,
which
everyone
has
those
struggles.
A
B
A
A
She
well
and
then,
when
she's
mainstream,
she
finds
that
you,
you
know
that
she's
not
totally
by
herself
yeah
either
that
she
can
also
be
a
part
of
a
group
that
also
have
big
ears
and
the
hearing,
packs
or
things
in
their
ears
and
I
found.
I
know
what
I
look
for
in
stories
to
is
how
it
transforms,
or
you
know,
transfers
across
the
board.
So
I
know
there
are
some
important
issues
in
there.
A
You
know
that
is
a
more
juvenile
fiction
and
older,
but
I
can
see
adults
wearing
or
reading
this
too,
and
especially
adults
that
are
losing
their
hearing,
I
mean
you
could
identify
one
could
identify
with
the
character,
even
though
they're
losing
their
hearing
at
a
younger
age.
Then
when
you're
older,
but
it
kind
of
explains
things
I
mean
it
was
just
overall,
just
a
wonderful.
You
know
a
360
type
of
understanding
of
this
particular
handicap
so
and.
D
C
A
C
A
We've
talked
about
a
graphic
novel,
no
graphic
novels
got
a
lot
of
illustrations
and
on
you
know,
and
panels
of
words
as
well.
One
of
our
calica.
You
talked
about
this
being
a
newbery
award
winning
and
having
so
many
illustrations.
We
also
have
a
graphic
novel
that
was
a
caldo
potta
went
award
winner,
just
with
with
our
beautiful.
B
A
D
Yeah,
it's
it's
amazing.
It's
the
storyline
is
very
straightforward.
It's
about
a
girl
and
her
parents
who
go
to
the
beach
in
Canada.
Actually
so
it's
kind
of
a
cold
beach
and
they
she
meets
up
with
her
friend.
That's
always
been
her
friend
at
the
beach
and
they
start
to
get
to
know
the
kids
at
in
the
village
and
then
the
main
character.
His
parents
are
fighting
and
she's,
not
quite
sure.
Why,
and
over
the
course
of
the
story,
a
lot
of
the
mysteries
get
worked
out
and
they
learn
a
lot
of
things.
D
But
the
girls
are
just
talking
about
things
and
trying
to
figure
things
out,
just
like
any
middle
grade
novel
and
what
really
makes
it
stand
out
is
the
illustrations.
They
are
absolutely
fabulous
and
there
are
multiple
pages
where
you
would
not
know
what
was
going
on
from
the
text
like
you
have
to
look
at
the
pictures
and
look
closely
like
they
have
this
habit
of
watching
horror,
movies
and
one
night.
D
There's
a
picture
of
a
girl
lying
on
the
couch
looking
up
and
you
can
see
the
computer
light
blinking
and
that's
so
it
you
can
figure
out
that
she's
lying
there
she's
scared,
because
they
just
watched
this
horror
movie.
They
watched
it
on
the
laptop.
The
laptop
is
still
up
there.
The
laptop
is
reminding
her
of
the
horror
movie
and
you
get
all
that
from
one
picture
and
that's
not
the
only
one
that
has
just
very
evocative
pictures:
yeah.
C
And
I
I
think
that
this
this
duo,
these
cousins
did
such
a
great
job
of
working
together
and
I.
Think
that
both
the
illustrations
are
so
realistic
to
you
know:
kids,
who
are
this
age?
They
they
just
look
so
real
and
then,
on
the
other
hand,
the
the
dialogue
that
they
have
is
also
so
genuine
and
so
authentic.
And
it's
you
really
get.
C
C
A
B
A
A
B
A
And
I
was
fortunate
enough
to
be
at
ala
at
the
winter
conference
when
they
announced
all
the
awards
and
everybody
stood
up
and
screamed
when
this
one
was
what
as
a
caldecott-
and
they
were
very
happy
with
the
prince
as
well,
but
as
a
caldecott.
They
because
this
is
you,
know,
history-changing
type
of
decisions
that
have
been
made
by
our
committee.
So
let's
go
ahead
and
talk
about
the
Prince
Awards
then,
and
our
our
Prince
Award
winner
is
I'll.
Give
you
the
sun
and.
C
C
Who
are
you
know
the
same
like
very
extremely
close,
can
finish
each
other's
thoughts
and
sentences
and
feelings
and
stuff
like
that
up
until
they
reach
13
and
then,
when
they're
13,
something
happens
or
series
of
some
things
happen,
and
they
go
for
like
three
years
without
really
speaking
to
each
other.
And
what
makes
the
story
really
great
is
she
tells
the
story
from
both
of
their
perspectives
but
at
two
different
time
periods.
So
we
hear
no
Noah
side
of
the
story.
B
D
A
Have
to
come
and
read
it
and
see
how
that
what's
weaving
together,
that's
making
it
an
interesting
story
and,
and
then
again
the
the
beauty
of
her
for
putting
the
words
together.
The
power
of
the
word
is
very,
very
important,
so
this
was
our
winner.
This
one
summer
was
an
honor.
We
also
have-
and
we
stay
right
here
over
here
so
and
we
stay
as
by
jenny
hubbard.
Anyone
like
this
one
I
go.
B
B
A
C
It
out,
I
haven't,
read
it,
but
I
will
speak
on
behalf
of
tana
VR,
teen
librarian.
Who
said
that
this
was
her
favorite
book
of
the
year.
It
does
take
place
in
Iowa
for
people
who
are
looking
for
a
little
local
connection.
It's
a
little
futuristic
fantasy
es
with
I
think
they
are
human
eating,
grasshoppers
six
foot
tall
and
maybe
something
like
that.
But
anyway
she
loves
it.
It's
supposed
to
be
a
really
fantastic
book
and
then
the.
A
A
D
Takes
them
a
while
to
make
a
connection
in
the
one
thing
I
wanted
to
say
about
this
book
is
I
took
this
to
the
kids
I
babysit
for,
and
I
took
a
whole
stack
of
the
award
winners
and
they
pulled
this
out
like
both
of
them.
Read
this
one
first
like
they
really
really
identified
with
it
and
and
they
had
no
trouble.
I
had
a
little
trouble
with
his
this
imaginary.
Is
this
real
or
now?
Are
they
real
and
going
to
be
imagined
it,
and
they
were
just
like?
B
Like
I
went
through
it
and
what
I
loved
is
so
the
day
of
the
caldecott
which,
like
you
were
saying
one
of
my
favorite
days
of
the
year
Oscar
day
for
librarians
I
tracked
this
book
down
and
I'm
like
I've
gotta,
look
at
it
yet
and
I
just
looked
at
it
and
I'm
like
oh,
oh
yeah,
yeah.
This
is
this.
Is
it
this
is
why
and
plus
there's
all
sorts
of
great
little
allusions
to
other
classic
children's
literature?
B
B
A
That
and
just
like
Max
did
so
there
are.
You
know,
that's
right.
That's
good
point!
So
very
awesome
book
the
the
honors
there
were
a
grand
amount
in
honors.
There
was
six
of
them
and
and
again
one
of
those
being
the
graphic
novel
for
teens
and
then,
but
this
one
gave
me
somewhat
comfort
of
a
regular
picture
that.
D
A
A
A
D
D
A
Biography
this
one
isn't
a
biography
but
we'll
jump
to
a
biography
in
a
minute.
This
is
sam,
&
dave,
dig
a
hole
by
mac,
barnett
and
john
klassen
is
the
illustrator
and
we've
seen
both
of
those
guys
in
many
of
our
picture
books
so
Sam
and
Dave.
This
can
how
I
feel.
Sometimes
it
you
dig
a
hole,
you
keep
digging
and
then
you
make
a
decision
and
oftentimes
oftentimes
when
you
make
the
decision.
A
D
Love
this
page,
because
you
can
talk
the
next
one
about
how
there's
not
actually
more
than
two
kids,
it's
just
the
two
kids
falling
yellow
just
the
picture
book
conventions
that
class
amuses
in
here
are
amazing,
yeah
and
how
the
looking
at
details
rewards
you.
If
you
look
at
this
page,
you
can
see
it's
not
actually
the
same
place
they
started,
and
so
yeah
the
kids
had
a
lot
of
fun.
Finding
the
differences
and.
D
A
A
B
A
A
D
D
A
A
A
And
so
so
it
was
a
double
award
winner
as
well,
and
then
I
believe
we
are
going
to
have
to
end
on
this
one
and
the
right
word
by
rachet
and
his
thesaurus.
So
this
one
not
only
was
a
caldecott
honor,
but
also
a
seabird
award
winner,
which
is
a
book
of
information.
So
who
would
like
to
speak
to
this?
This
has
got
lots
of
information
in
it.
This.
C
Fact
that
she
she
includes
the
lists
of
words,
but
she
also
in
the
font
that
she
uses,
as
well
as
the
pictures
that
are
included
the
way
that
she's
organized
them
all
has
made
it
very
visually.
Appealing
very
visually
interesting
in
the
way
that
Melissa
sweet
so
often
does.
But
I
think
that
it
was
just
such
a
neat
combination
of
the
two,
the
words
and
the
graphic
elements
of
the
words
and-
and
it's
a
really
interesting
story
in
the
fact
that
he
starts.
Writing
this
thesaurus
at
the
age
of
eight
and
gets
it
published.

You
can
see
his
actual
handwriting
and
how
he
had
set
them
up
all
like
all
together.
I
mean
that's
not
all
the
words,
but
it's
a
really
good
to
me
that
I
really
loved,
seeing
exactly
how
he
had
written
them
out
and
I
just
want
to
call
up.
The
publisher
is
Edmunds
books
for
young
readers
and
they've
been
very
well
represented
with
the
informational
books
and
the
Schneider
disability
books
and
that
translated
books.
They
won
the
translated
book
award
this
year
too.
A
Published
or
doesn't
get
published
in
which
I
kind
of
fibbed
that
I'm
going
to
go
on
with
one
more
award,
because
I
think
this
one,
we
haven't
really
highlighted
very
many
years,
but
the
Stonewall
award,
and
we
have
some
really
good
books
this
year.
That
have
been
that
have
that
that
honor
and
one
of
those,
let's
see
where
did
I
put
those
the.
A
C
Is
definitely
one
of
my
favorites
I
was
I
was
so
thrilled
that
a
picture
book
actually
won
the
Stonewall
this
year
it
was.
It
was
sort
of
surprising
to
many
of
us,
but
it's
just
such
a
fantastic
book
number
one.
It's
a
fantastic
picture
book,
it's
all
about
a
parade
and
what
kid
doesn't
love
a
parade.
There
are
0.
C
But
the
the
colorful
illustrations
and
the
wonderful
excitement-
that's
in
all
of
them,
really
fun
funny
Rhymes
and
couplets
that
are
on
each
of
the
pages,
a
lot
of
details
to
look
at,
and
so
this
can
really
just
be
read
as
a
picture
book,
and
you
know
you
get
as
one
of
the
many
in
your
bag
that
day
and
you
go
home
and
you
read
it
right
before
you
go
to
bed,
but
also
in
the
back.
Is
this
fantastic
reading
guide?
C
C
As
you
know,
a
lot
of
people
out
there
that
are
just
maybe
non-conventional,
and
it
talks
about
how
to
talk
about
it
with
your
child
who's
like
027,
and
how
to
talk
about
it
with
seven
to
12
and
how
to
talk
about
it
with
teens,
and
it
gives
a
lot
of
really
great
pointers
for
different
kids
and
where
they
are,
and
so
for
people
who
want
to
have
this
conversation
with
their
children.
This
is
a
really
wonderful
opening
into
that
conversation.
A
B
A
It's
not
a
throw
it
in
your
face,
it's
just
a
very
nice
settle.
This
is
life.
This
is
who
we
are,
and
we
can
pretend
to
wear
and
have
our
little
dress
or
be
who
we
are,
and
that
I
think
is
what
is
so
important
for
our
books.
To
tell
us
is
that
the
acceptance
and
being
able
to
identify
what
characters
are
in
the
book
with
ourselves
or
with
someone
that
we
know
and
that
we
can
relate
with
a
book
and
with
the
people
and
help
us
be
better
people
in
our
world?
A
Obviously,
all
the
books
here,
including
our
theater
guy
soul
award,
which
was
you,
are
not
small
with
the
winner,
but
if
there's
so
many
wonderful
books,
whether
or
not
they
when
the
award
or
not,
and
but
it's
that
interaction
that
you
have
with
that
book
and
that
how
how
it
talks
to
you
and
I
have
just
a
piece
here
that
I'd
like
to
end
our
program
with
today,
and
it
is
how
I
discovered
poetry
by
Marilyn,
Nelson
and
I
think
it's
just
how
she
discovered
poetry
but
I
think
each
one
of
us
can
just
over
our
book
or
our
character.
A
That
is
in
our
book.
That
speaks
to
us,
and
so
let
me
share
this
one
page
with
you:
Howard
discovered
poetry.
It
was
like
soul
kissing
the
way
the
words
filled.
My
mouth
as
mrs.
Purdy,
read
from
her
desk,
all
the
other
kids
zoned
in
our
head
to
315,
but
mrs.
Purdy
and
I
wandered
lonely,
as
clouds
borne
by
a
breeze
amount,
parson
asst.
She
must
have
seen
the
darkest
eyes
in
the
room
brim.
A
The
next
day
she
gave
me
a
poem
she'd
chosen,
especially
for
me
to
read
to
the
all,
except
for
me,
white
class.
She
smiled
when
she
told
me
to
read
it
smiled
harder
said:
oh,
yes,
I.
Could
she
smiled
harder
and
harder
until
I
stood
and
opened
my
mouth
to
banjo,
playing
pickaninnies
disease
and
deaths?
When
I
finished
my
classmates
stared
at
the
floor,
we
walk
silent,
two
buses
awed
by
the
power
of
words
until
next
time,.
