   2013 CALDECOTT MEDAL
          WINNER

“The 2013 Caldecott Medal winner is This Is Not My
Hat, written and illustrated by Jon Klassen, published
by Candlewick Press.
In this darkly humorous tale, a tiny fish knows it’s
wrong to steal a hat. It fits him just right. But the big
fish wants his hat back. Klassen’s controlled palette,
opposing narratives and subtle cues compel readers to
follow the fish and imagine the consequence.
“With minute changes in eyes and the slightest
displacement of seagrass, Klassen’s masterful
illustrations tell the story the narrator doesn’t know,”
Caldecott Chair Sandra Imdieke said (ALA.org).”

     The 2013 Newbery Medal
            Winner!

“ The 2013 Newbery Medal winner is The One and
Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate, published by
HarperCollins Children's Books, a division of
HarperCollins Publishers
Ivan’s transformative emergence from the “Ape at Exit
8” to “The One and Only Ivan, Mighty Silverback,”
comes to life through the gorilla’s own distinct
narrative voice, which is filled with wry humor, deep
emotion and thought-provoking insights into the
nature of friendship, hope and humanity.
“Katherine Applegate gives readers a unique and
unforgettable gorilla’s-eye-view of the world that
challenges the way we look at animals and at
ourselves,” said Newbery Medal Committee Chair
Steven Engelfried (ALA.org).”

  • 17. Hoffman Family Library Virtual Learning Commons 2013 CALDECOTT MEDAL WINNER “The 2013 Caldecott Medal winner is This Is Not My Hat, written and illustrated by Jon Klassen, published by Candlewick Press. In this darkly humorous tale, a tiny fish knows it’s wrong to steal a hat. It fits him just right. But the big fish wants his hat back. Klassen’s controlled palette, opposing narratives and subtle cues compel readers to follow the fish and imagine the consequence. “With minute changes in eyes and the slightest displacement of seagrass, Klassen’s masterful illustrations tell the story the narrator doesn’t know,” Caldecott Chair Sandra Imdieke said (ALA.org).”
  • 18. Hoffman Family Library Virtual Learning Commons The 2013 Newbery Medal Winner! “ The 2013 Newbery Medal winner is The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate, published by HarperCollins Children's Books, a division of HarperCollins Publishers Ivan’s transformative emergence from the “Ape at Exit 8” to “The One and Only Ivan, Mighty Silverback,” comes to life through the gorilla’s own distinct narrative voice, which is filled with wry humor, deep emotion and thought-provoking insights into the nature of friendship, hope and humanity. “Katherine Applegate gives readers a unique and unforgettable gorilla’s-eye-view of the world that challenges the way we look at animals and at ourselves,” said Newbery Medal Committee Chair Steven Engelfried (ALA.org).”
