A hearty congratulations to Debby Dahl Edwardson! Today (October 12, 2011), her outstanding My Name is Not Easy was named as a finalist for the National Book Award! Here's a book trailer about her book:
In addition to the page at the NBA site, take a look at Debby's website. I'll add blog posts and news articles about the book as I find them.

Thanks Debbie! I am so happy to read your posts. I linked to your blog--as I posted this trailer.
ReplyDeleteHope library school is going well.

P.S. Do you have a copy of that wonderful paper you had for people to evaluate the Caldecott winners? I am our school librarian, and would love to use it with our 5th and 8th graders. Thanks!
