About the NCCBA...
The North Carolina Children's Book Award (NCCBA) is sponsored by the North Carolina School Library Media Association and the Youth Services Section of the North Carolina Library Association. Since 1992, North Carolina's school children have nominated their favorite books published within the past three years. Members of the NCCBA committee select 10-12 titles from the nominated books in two categories, picture books and junior books. During the course of the year, classroom teachers, media specialists and public librarians encourage children to become familiar with the nominees and vote for their favorite titles in March. The award is truly a children's book award - selected by the children of the state of North Carolina!(http://nccba.blogspot.com/p/about-ncbba.html)
These books lead to great discussions about why or why not they should be chosen as THE winner of the NCCBA this year. What makes a book award-winning material?
Let's all read as many of these titles as possible! In late February Underwood students will participate in the state wide voting. I wonder which titles will receive the most votes!
