After a short historical past of the Newbery, friends had been handled to a movie that includes the covers of all Newbery winners and books of honor with voiceovers from award-winning authors. I just lately had the chance to take ALSC’s The Newbery Medal: Previous, Current, and Future class taught by KT Horning. (In case you ever get the possibility, take this class!!!) So I acquired chills and beloved each minute of the Newbery celebration.

Writer Steve Sheinkin led the parlor recreation with a librarian’s model of his Writer Fan Face-off through which librarians performed in opposition to Newbery authors to reply trivial questions in regards to the authors’ books. It was a really shut contest with each the librarians and the authors “calling” buddies within the viewers for assist.

On the finish, the friends even acquired get together favors! Newbery-winning authors, together with Meg Medina, Linda Sue Park, Jerry Craft and Erin Entrada Kelly, signed copies of their books.
