I missed it last week, but the Caldecott & Newberry Medal Award winners were announced on January 17 at ALA Midwinter meeting. The best in children's literature were given to Kira-Kira, by Cynthia Kadohata (Newberry) and Kitten's First Full Moon, written and illustrated by Kevin Henkes (Caldecott). I bought a copy of Henkes book when he published it last year -- wonderful black & white illustrations. I knew it was a keeper!
