These stories resemble real life, and fictional characters within these stories react similarly to real people.” The Benefits of Being an Octopus by Ann Braden Seventh-grader Zoey has her hands full as she takes care of her much younger siblings after school every day while her mom works her shift at the pizza parlor. Not that her mom seems to appreciate it. At least there's Lenny, her mom's boyfriend—they all get to live in his nice, clean trailer. At school, Zoey tries to stay under the radar. Her only friend Fuchsia has her own issues, and since they're in an entirely different world than the rich kids, it's best if no one notices them. Zoey thinks how much easier everything would be if she were an octopus: eight arms to do eight things at once. Incredible camouflage ability and steady, unblinking vision. Powerful protective defenses. Unfortunately, she's not totally invisible, and one of her teachers forces her to join the debate club. Even though Zoey resists participating, debate ultimately leads her to see things in a new way: her mom’s relationship with Lenny, Fuchsia's situation, and her own place in this town of people who think they're better than her. Can Zoey find the courage to speak up, even if it means risking the most stable home she's ever had? *Named an NPR Best Book of 2018 *Named to the Bank Street List for Best Children's Books of 2019 *Named to the Vermont Dorothy Canfield Fisher List *Named to the Maine's Student Book Award List *Named to the Rhode Island Middle School *2020 Oklahoma Sequoyah Book Award Nominee Book Award 2020 List The Dollar Kids by Jennifer Richard Jacobson Twelve-year-old Lowen Grover, a budding comic-book artist, is still reeling from the shooting death of his friend Abe when he stumbles across an article about a former mill town giving away homes for just one dollar.

    RANDOLPH CALDECOTT MEDAL COMMITTEE MANUAL June 2009 Randolph Caldecott Medal Committee Manual – Formatted August 2015 1 FOREWORD Randolph Caldecott The Caldecott Medal is named for Randolph Caldecott (1846-1886), a British illustrator best known for his nursery storybooks, including The Babes in the Wood, The Hey Diddle Diddle Picture Book, Sing a Song of Sixpence. Many of the scenes illustrated in these works depict the English Countryside and the people who lived there. Although Caldecott began sketching as a child, his parents saw no future for him in art and sent him to work at a bank in the city. He still found time to sketch, though, and in addition to the farmlands of his youth, Caldecott began to draw urban scenes and people, including caricatures of some bank customers. When his drawings were accepted for publication in the Illustrated London News and other papers, Caldecott quit his bank job to become a freelance illustrator. In his thirties, shortly after gaining recognition as a book illustrator, Caldecott began working with Edmund Evans, an engraver and printer who experimented with color. Together they created the nursery storybooks for which Caldecott became famous. It is believed by some that Caldecott’s illustrations were the reason many nursery stories became popular. Caldecott traveled to the United States in December, 1885, with his wife, but the stormy sea voyage to New York and long train ride to Florida sapped his already frail health. He died in February, 1886 and is buried in Evergreen Cemetery in St. Augustine, Florida. His gravesite is maintained by the Randolph Caldecott Society of North America.

They were paintings based on Post-Renaissance mas- terworks – virtuosic paintings of canonical stature by Goya, Rembrandt, and Ribera. Yelchin’s interpretations amplified, with hallucinatory vigor and vertiginous physicality, the dimensions of delirium, catastrophe and humanity that can be “pulled” from those works by the right art- ist – unlocking valves of sensation, emotion and urgency. Those paintings – which still seem so fresh and strong to me today – were definitely not for kids. In the ensuing years, Eugene and I stayed in touch sporadically. I was aware that his interests had turned to children’s book illustration, but unfortunately, as a curator I had – however unwittingly – inherited the notion that illustration was a poor, distant relation to “pure art” (whatever that may mean). Artists, unlike critics and curators, do not worry about such distinc- The Rooster Who Would Not Be Quiet, 2017 tions.

    2020 OLA Intermediate Sequoyah Smorgasbord The Assassination of Brangwain Spurge By M.T. Anderson and Eugene Yelchin Citation: ​ Anderson, M.T., and Eugene Yelchin. The Assassination of Brangwain Spurge. Somerville: ​ ​ ​ Candlewick Press, 2018. 544p. (Grades 5-8) Annotation: Elf historian, Brangwain Spurge is on a mission. Fly into the foul goblin kingdom, find his host Werfel the Archivist, deliver a gift of peace to Gogh the “Evil One” and send images back to the spymaster in Elfland. What could possibly go wrong? Told through a combination of prose, illustrations, and spymaster reports, this story delivers a humorous tale of misinformation, identity and acceptance. Booktalk: Elf Historian, Brangwain Spurge, has been catapulted (quite literally) into the arms of his nation’s greatest enemy, the goblin kingdom, on a mission to observe his surroundings and deliver a gift to the mysterious ruler Ghohg. Survival is optional. Eagerly awaiting the arrival of his invited guest is Goblin historian, Werfel the Archivist. Ever the patient and kind host, Werfel immerses Spurge in goblin culture. Meanwhile, ill-tempered Spurge is spying and sending Top Secret Transmission images back to the Order of the Clean Hand, but there is more to the story than meets the eye. This side-splitting illustrated novel is a fantastical comedy of manners that will tickle the readers’ funny bone while simultaneously asking them to think critically about the consequences of cultural perception, bias, and misinformation.
