A
And
the
winner
is
well
we're
going
to
tell
you
that
in
this
show
just
like
in
the
movies
and
that
actors,
they
all
receive
those
those
big
awards
that
we
just
saw
so
do
the
books
and
the
authors
and
the
illustrators
each
year
in
January
is
that
month,
American
Library
Association,
the
Ala.
We
also
a
young
adult
service
and
the
Alex
group
I'll
give
awards
way,
and
that
is
what
we're
going
to
talk
about
here
today
and
I
brought
some
of
your
youth
librarians
along
with
me
today,
so
I'm
Jerry
Hyde.
A
B
Yes,
I
have
worked
here
for
coming
up
on
nine
years
and
I
guess
one
of
my
favorite
days
every
year,
I
think
of
it,
as
the
US
like
you
were
saying,
the
Oscars
of
children's
literature
is
the
day
that
all
this
is
announced
and
what
was
great
this
year
is
that
the
three
of
us
were
all
in
the
office
at
the
same
time.
So
we.
C
So
it
didn't,
we
we.
A
A
C
I'm
also
almost
going
on
eight
years
you're,
almost
and
here
at
the
library
and
it's
been
fun
and
I,
get
to
dabble
in
a
whole
bunch
of
different
things,
and
so
I
do
juvenile
stuff,
juvenile
fiction,
graphic
novels,
beginning
reader
things
in
the
EGR
section
and
just
lots
of
different
things:
lots
of
digital
things
like
the
apps
that
we
have
and
things
like
that
I
get
to
help
with.
So
it's
a
lot
of
fun.
So.
A
A
We're
really
good
at
it
and
sometimes
we're
not
so
I'm
going
to
hand
the
ball
back
over
cross
over
at
the
boss
and
the
back
over
to
you
Danielle
and
let's
talk
about
the
Prince
award,
which
is
an
award
given
to
a
young
adult
author
and
for
the
best
book
young
adult
author
for
the
Year
previous.
So
this.
B
Year,
the
book
was,
we
are
okay,
so
this
one,
the
the
big
award,
the
prince
and
it
was
by
Nina,
Lacour
and
I-
actually
picked
it
up
last
summer
when
it
came
out
not
because
I
had
heard
any
prints
by
this,
but
just
because
I
happen
to
really
like
this
author
Nina
Lacour.
This
one
is
a
really
good
book
is
shorter
and
it's
very
I
keep
describing
it
to
people
as
quiet.
It's
very
much
about
a
girl
trying
to
figure
out
her
grief
and
her
sense
of
betrayal.
B
Her
grandfather
passes
away
and
she
feels
very
you
know.
Grief-Stricken
he's
the
one
who
raised
her
since
she
was
3
or
4
years
old,
she's
all
alone
in
the
world,
and
she
feels
betrayed
by
him
that
he
left
her
and,
as
you
continue
reading
the
book,
you're
gonna
find
out
why
she
feels
just
so
betrayed
and
why
she
felt
like
she
needed
to
leave
her
entire
life
behind
her.
When
she
went
to
college.
She
took
a
suitcase
and
she.
B
A
As
without
most
team
books,
there's
lots
of
coming
of
age
and
type
of
issues
and
sounds
a
little
bit
there's
a
little
bit
of
depression
yeah
in
this,
and
you
know
going
off
to
school.
That
type
of
thing
too.
So
you
talked
about
the
prince,
being
the
big
award
and
and
unfortunately,
or
fortunately,
I
remember
when
it
came
out
and
it
was
younger
in
my
career,
and
so
it's
not
been
a
long
time
in
the
running.
A
It
was
named
after
a
school
librarian
in
Topeka,
Kansas
I'm,
not
very
far
from
here,
so
it
like
all
other
awards,
have
both
winners
and
then
the
runners-up,
and
so
one
of
the
runners-up
I
understand
it's
just
an
awesome
book.
I
have
not
yet
to
read
this
one,
but
what
what
reviews
I
read
it
just
was
evidently
outstanding.
Once
you
open
it
up,
you're
not
going
to
shut
it
until
you're
done
so
tell
us
a
little
bit
about
this
one.
This.
B
Is
also
one
that
I
picked
up
because
I
love
the
author,
Laini
Taylor,
and
this
one
is
a
little
bit
more
in
my
wheelhouse,
it's
fantasy
and
I
tend
to.
If
I
had
to
choose
I
guess
I
would
fall
on
the
side
of
fantasy
as
being
one
of
my
favorite
genres,
but
it
is
about
a
kid
named
Lazlo
Strange
and
he's
an
orphan
and
as
he
grows
up,
he
ends
up
kind
of
being
apprenticed
into
a
library
which
you
know.
We
like
libraries.
C
B
Not
only
that,
but
he
wants
to
explore.
There's
the
city
called
weep
and
everybody
thinks
of
it.
It's
this
empty
City.
Now
no
one
lives
there
and
he
wants
to
know
more
because
he
remembers
what
he
was
doing
one
day
when
he
was
playing
and
he
was
playing
that
he
was
in
that
city
and
they
ripped
the
name
of
that
city
away.
So
everybody
calls
it
weep,
but
that's
not
really
what
it
was
always
called.
B
A
B
C
A
B
B
B
B
C
A
A
A
B
A
A
C
Right,
yes,
yeah
and
so
the
rule
of
their
life
is
there's
three
rules,
and
one
of
them
is
you
get
revenge
if
something
like
this
happens
so
he's
basically
faced
with
this
dilemma
of
I
have
to
get
revenge.
This
is
on
me
now
and
and
revenge
means
killing,
whoever
just
killed
your
brother.
You
know
and
and
that's
a
huge
weight
to
have
on
your
shoulders,
and
it
is
weighing
him
down
as
he's
in
this
elevator
and
and
this
process
that
he
goes
through
to
figure
out.
A
A
A
Yeah,
so
it
is
a
fabulous
book
and
Jason
Reynolds
is
also,
and
all
Iowa
reads:
T
or
Youth
book
that
we
have
he's
written
a
book
called
ghosts
that
we,
you
know
highlighted
last
year
and
how
great
fabulous
it
is.
So
we
chose
that
as
an
all
Iowa
reads
program
that
we're
going
to
do
and
a
book
discussion.
So
you
have
not
seen
the
last
of
Jason
Reynolds
here
in
the
Ames
Public
Library
area
and
or
in
the
state
of
Iowa
or
nationally
I.
Think
we've
just
seen.
C
B
C
A
He
was
not
a
book
reader
at
all
and
he
loves
the
World
Book
of
Guinness
Book
of
World
Records,
and
he
talks
about
in
some
of
those
interviews
too
of
how
he
thinks
that
the
the
Guinness
Book
of
World
Records
has
gotten
really
cheesy
and
now
everybody
can
have
an
away,
and
he
didn't
feel
that
way
and
Walter.
Dean
Myers
was
one
of
his
models
role
models
and
his
son,
Walter
Dean
Myers
son,
had
talked
to
Jason
Reynolds
and
told
him
that
he
needed
to
start
writing
and
to
get
right
out
there.
A
So
well
excellent,
excellent
author
and,
like
I,
said
we
haven't
seen
the
last
of
him
yet
so
a
long
way
down
by
Jason
Reynolds.
So
there's
some
other
really
fabulous
author,
a
new
author
that's
come
up,
and
that
is
the
Angie
Thomas.
The
hate
you
give,
and
not
only
is
it
the
topic
of
lots
of
things
that
are
in
the
news
recently
and
in
the
past,
but
she
star
is
the
main
character's
name
and
she
is
a
witness.
A
She
was
in
the
car
when
this
friend
of
hers
stepped
out
of
the
car
that
got
stopped
by
the
police
he
got
out
of
the
car.
He
was
reaching
in
concerned
with
his
with
star
making
sure
she
was
okay
and
the
police
officer
shot,
shot
him
and
killed
him,
and
so
she's
the
witness
and
then
it's
all
about
her.
Should
she
do
the
witness?
Should
she
tell?
A
Should
she
not
tell
kind
of
like
a
long
way
down
in
that
manner,
but
so
there's
a
lot
of
plot
to
that
with
the
suburbs
of
popularity
of
mid,
mid
white
areas
and
her
uncle
is
also
a
police
officer,
so
there's
a
little
tie-in
to
the
police
station,
and
so
they
hate
you
give
I
didn't
read
the
book.
I
listened
to
the
CD
on
it
and
it
also
was
an
award-winning
Odyssey
over
award-winning.
A
C
C
Year
was
it
and
for
the
girl
who
drank
the
moon
mm-hmm.
You
pick
that
up
and
you're
in
the
first
chapter
and
you're
like
oh,
my
gosh.
This
is
so
like
the
writing
and
that
you
know
you
can
tell
the
plot
in
the
story
and
it's
just
impactful.
This
one
I
got
to
the
end
and
I
was
like
oh
okay,
yeah.
That
was
good,
like
it
just
didn't.
Have
that
impact
that
I
was
expecting
so
I.
C
This
is
one
of
those
ones
where
it's
a
really
good
book,
and
there
are
definitely
people
I,
would
recommend
this
to.
It's
got
a
great
set
of
characters.
It's
kind
of
like
wonder
where
there's
like
three
main
characters
and
the
chapters
alternate
between
who's
telling
the
story
which
is
really
fun.
Because
then
you
really
get
to
know
three
characters
very
well
and
you
get
to
see
how
their
storylines
interact,
which
I
really
like.
C
C
C
C
C
B
A
Let's
talk
about
the
award
a
little
bit,
so
it's
a
John
Newbery
Award,
that's
gotten
around
for
a
long
long
time
since
the
early
20s
1920
so
and
was
chosen
by
Frederick
Meltzer
or
solicited
by
Frederick
Melcher
to
honor
John
Newbery.
Who
was
a
publisher
at
the
time,
and
so
it
was
to
help
people
read
books
because
they
didn't
think
children
were
reading
enough
back
then
yeah
and
it's
a
lifelong
issue
in
a
book
reading
world,
and
so
they
wanted
to
highlight
books.
And
so
it's
a
very
prestigious
honor.
B
A
Right
so
so,
they're
in
there
chosen
by
committees,
yeah
our
have
elected
half
appointed
and
so
yeah.
It's
it's
very
interesting
I
would
agree.
I
would
love
to
be
a
little
mouse
in
the
room,
but
having
been
on
the
Iowa
reads
committee
it.
It
is
it's
very
interesting,
the
discussions
that
are
there
and
who
brings
what
to
the
table
so.
B
Yeah
in
this
newberry
committee
chose
some
really
interesting
books.
They
chose
this
one,
which
is
a
juvenile
fiction
which
hung
out
all
the
time,
but
most
the
time,
Newberry
books
go
there
right,
but
they
also
the
hate
you
give
as
a
Newberry,
your
honor
and
so
is
a
long
way
down.
So
they
chose
to
adult
books
as
well,
which
makes
I
mean
it
goes
up
to
age,
14,
yeah,
so.
A
B
C
B
C
B
A
Then
yeah,
our
our
beautiful
wolves,
also
help
out,
and
then
they
get
him
home
that
well
so
there's
a
lot
happiness
and
this
the
illustrations
and
stuff
are
very
after
it
was
after
it
won.
I,
went
and
looked
at
a
you
know
in
detail,
and
there
are
a
lot
of
really
cool
details
that
are
happening
in
the
stories
and
not
just
the
snow
and
the
white
and
the
red
yeah.
C
B
A
A
We
had
this
on
our
best
books,
things
so
and
speaking
of
another
one
that
we
had
on
our
bass
books
and
you
know
Danielle
when
you're
talking
about
yeah.
You
had
that
you
know
thinking
you
were
reading
about
that.
You
also
thought
about
this
one
and
and
it's
definitely
an
award
winner,
multiple
award
winner.
That's.
C
B
It
is,
it
is
just
I,
it
is
a
fun
book,
like
the
illustrations,
are
gorgeous
and
they're
actually
based
on
the
main
carrot.
The
main
character
in
this
book
is
based
on
from
the
V
I,
believe
the
author's
son
he's
a
10
year
old
and
so
and
then
the
illustrator
based
the
barbershop
on
the
barbershop
that
his
son
goes
to
yes
and
them.
So
it's
just
it's
beautiful.
C
Lots
of
times,
when
you
see
haircut
books,
it's
like
your
first
haircut.
You've
never
had
this
isn't
this
is
this
kids
obviously
had
a
haircut
before,
and
this
is
why
he
gets
excited
about
it.
Can
you
a
big
deal
for
him
because
he's
gonna
feel
and
and
be
empowered
when
he
walks
out
of
that
place,
and
you
want
kids
to
have
experiences
in
life
that
empower
them.
A
And
you
can
tell
by
him
on
the
cover
that
he
feels
quite
proud
of
what
he
has
had
done
and
of
himself
and
feels
good,
which
is
really
nice
to
see
ya
after
all,
the
young,
adult
ones
that
we
were
talking
about.
This
is
really
good
to
see.
You
know
a
positive
image
and
not
having
something
bad
happen.
It's
a
day-to-day
regular,
routine
type
of
thing
that
happens
in
everybody's
life.
We
need
those
but-
and
we
need
those
folks
and.
C
A
This
one
is
also
he
is
a
fairly
new
author
as
well,
so
just
like
Jason
Reynolds
we're
not
going
to
see
the
end
of
him
yet,
and
so
is
the
illustrator
yeah
we're
not
going
to
see
the
end
of
that
too,
because
I
think
the
illustrations
are
very
unique
as
well.
You
can
see
texture
and
color
and
his
making
his
facial
ability
of
making
that
that
attitude
be
there.
It's
just
fabulous
and
wonderful.
So
so
we
have
another
one.
A
B
B
So
it's
about
a
little
boy,
who's
woken
up
very
early
by
his
dad,
and
you
get
the
feeling
that
neither
of
them
they
that
the
little
boy
doesn't
maybe
want
to
go
fishing,
but
he
wants
to
spend
time
with
his
dad,
and
so
they
are
off
to
go
fishing
and
the
reason
that
they
need
to
go
fishing
is
because
they
are
Vietnamese
refugees
and
his
dad
I
believe
it's
mentioned
in
the
book.
He
gets
another.
He
has
another
job,
but
he
still
needs
to
go
fishing.
They
are
gonna,
have
fishing
for
dinner
that
the.
C
Cool
too,
because,
like
they're
not
alone
at
the
pond,
like
every
day
they
go
to
the
pond,
somebody
different
is
there
and
they
see
different
people,
and
this
morning
it
happens
to
be
just
them,
and
so
it's
the
experience
with
him
and
his
dad.
But
you
also
get
this
sense
of
community
built
around
this
one
area.
Yeah.
A
B
A
C
Was
thrilled,
King
and
Kayla
is
just
this
super
cute
early
chapter
book
I
mean
very
early
chapter
book
and
it's
a
mystery
which
I
think
kids
when
they're
starting
to
read
mysteries,
really
are
motivating
for
them,
because
they're
really
engaging
and
it's
really
hard
to
do
a
mystery.
Well
in
a
beginner
reader
cuz,
you
don't
have
many
words,
so
we're.
C
You're
trying
to
put
a
sentence
together,
much
less
build
this
plot,
and
this
you
know-
and
this
is
very
well
done-
there
are
there's,
obviously
a
problem
and
there
are
clues
to
get
there
to
the
final
solution
and
figuring
it
out,
and
the
characters
are
great
and
it's
very
well
done
and
there's
a
few
other
King
and
Kayla
ones,
yep.
So
I'm
gonna,
just.
A
A
Thank
you
both
for
sharing
your
expertise
and
thank
you
for
purchasing
and
keeping

up
there
and
where
we're
supposed
to
be
at
with
the
cutting-edge
type
of
stories
that
we
have.
So
if
you
haven't
read
any
of
these,
be
sure
and
come
in
and
put
hold
on
them,
because
that's
where
they're
all
at.
C
A
Them
they'll
be
going
off
onto
the
hold
shelf,
but
you
can
put
a
hold
on
yourself
and
there
are
plenty
of
others
that
we
didn't
even
get
to.

the
excellence

got
King
to
Louise
Greenfield

and
it's
all
about
words,
so
I'm
just

let
you
think
on

and
then
say
goodbye
in
the
land
of
words
in
the
land
of
words.
I
stand
as
still
as
a
tree
and
let
the
words
rain
down
on
me.
Come
rain,
bring
your
knowledge
and
your
music
sing.
Why
I
grow
green
and
full
I'll
stand
as
still
as
a
tree,
and
let
your
blessings
fall
on
me
until
next
time.
