What an exciting time of the year! On January 23, 2017, the American Llibrary Association (ALA) Mid-Winter Conference will hold the announcement of the 2017 Youth Media Awards. This includes the noted and much anticipated Newbery, Caldecott, Coretta Scott King, Pura Belpre, Schneider Family, Sibert, Seuss, Stonewall, and other book awards. I posted several mock Newbery Nominees that I have read. Adding to that list is The Girl Who Drank the Moon by Kelly Barnhill. A story of a young girl, Luna, raised by Xan, a kind and gentle witch; Glerk, a swamp monster; and Fyrian, a perfectly tiny dragon. This coming-of-age fairy tale/fantasy destined to become a modern classic.
Below the lists suggest the best books of 2016, the most recent releases for December 2016, and fantastic book lists by age groups to share with parents for building a home library or great gift ideas.
