Williams and Broadway: Beyond the Caldecott and Newbery Beyond the Caldecott and Newbery by Rachael Williams, Juvenile Literature Library Assistant and Marsha D. Broadway, Juvenile Literature Librarian Harold B. Lee Library The Caldecott and Newbery Medals are so wen-known and well-respected that both children and adults consider them to be indicators of quality children's literature. Winners of these awards are sought and read by young and old. Both medals are sponsored by the Association of Library Services to Children Division of the American Library Association. The Caldecott Medal is given to the illustrator of the most distinguished picture book published in the United States during the previous year. The Newbery Medal is given to the most distinguished contribution to children's literature published during the preceding year. Recipients must be residents or citizens of the U.S. Although these two awards are highly recognized, other literary awards, both national and international, can help guide children and adults to quality literature for young people.

A rock-solid education with a firm foundation of reading skills will give our children access to every opportunity in life to succeed. Every month in Michigan should be Reading Month, not just March." —Governor Jennifer Granholm In Michigan we are reminded that ALL students need to engage in reading opportunities that will enhance thinking; meet high, rigorous English language arts standards; and provide an intellectual challenge commensurate with learning goals aimed at the 21st Century. Reading Month is an opportune time to reflect on the quality of literature we are using to inspire students. Readers become leaders. Reading is the one skill that everyone needs to learn, and stay fresh and dynamic. To succeed in life we need to understand what we read. The best way to improve understanding is to read a lot. Below, educators will find noteworthy, recommended, and award-winning booklists that can be used in our quest for providing the best.

  • THE ROLES of the VISUAL in PICTUREBOOKS: BEYOND the CONVENTIONS of CURRENT DISCOURSE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillme
    THE ROLES OF THE VISUAL IN PICTUREBOOKS: BEYOND THE CONVENTIONS OF CURRENT DISCOURSE DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of the Ohio State University By Dominic Catalano, BS, MA, MFA ****** The Ohio State University 2005 Dissertation Committee: Approved by Professor Sydney Walker, Advisor ___________________________________ Professor Ken Marantz Advisor Professor Janet Hickman Art Education Graduate Program Copyright by Dominic Catalano 2005 ABSTRACT The purpose of this investigation is to examine the meaning making potential of the visual properties of the literary and artistic genre known as the picturebook. In addition, the means in which we come to understand the visual in picturebooks is challenged, particularly in regards to written text and in context within the conventions of the larger picturebook community. Through primarily a poststructural semiotic analysis of three major post-1960s picturebook works (plus an addtional work produced by this author), this study demonstrates the deeper potentials of meaning in the visual elements of illustration and design qualties beyond current discourse. Lastly, this deeper potential meaning is qualified as to its impact on the picturebook field itself, as to the making, interpretation, and criticism of picturebooks, and to the utilization in education, especially the practise of visual art education. ii Dedicated to my wife, Oksana, my calm port in life’s stormy sea iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to thank Dr. Sydney Walker, for her encouragement and support throughout the writing of this study, and Drs. Kenneth Marantz and Janet Hickman for their expertise in the field.
