Mostly Picture Books – Post 3

March 12, 2012 by Kris

Every January, the American Library Association presents an award to the “most distinguished American picture book for children” – the Caldecott Medal. And every year, we like to seek out books that meet the criteria for this award. It is a GREAT way to learn about some of the newest and best picture books for children.

On Mondays at 8:00 a.m., we highlight new picture books we’ve discovered. If you have thoughts to share about any of the books, feel free to do so in the comments field below. In addition, if you would like to suggest a title, please email.

Words Set Me Free: The Story of Young Frederick Douglass

written by Lesa Cline-Ransome
illustrated by James E. Ransome

“The inspiring story of young Frederick Douglass’s path to freedom through reading”– publisher.

A Boy Called Dickens

written by Deborah Hopkinson
illustrated by John Hendrix

Narrates the tale of twelve-year-old Charles Dickens who, despite poverty and long hours of factory work, still has time to discover and share the stories of other residents of 1824 London.
