Watch ALA winners on the Today Show
Missed seeing some of the ALA winners on the Today Show this morning? You can watch it here, featuring:
Rebecca Stead, author of When You Read Me (winner of the 2010 Newbery Medal);
Jerry Pinkey, illustrator of The Lion and the Mouse, winner of the 2010 Caldecott Medal;
and ALA President, Camila Alire.
It would have been nice if they’d had a bit longer segment on the author, illustrator, and winning books, but I’m happy they featured them at all. What do you think?

I thought it was ridiculously short and I’m pretty sure that the host mispronounced Rebecca’s name.

Yes! Agreed, MotherReader. I wanted it to be much longer, too. I think the host mispronounced everyone’s name! Or at least stumbled over them.

Thanks for sharing this post, Cheryl. More time given with better coverage would definitely have been better, but at least they offered what they did.

I agree, Peggy. I’m glad it was on TV. Maybe some more people will pick up books.
