I love children's books. I decided to try and read ALL the Newbery Medal books several years ago, and enjoyed writing little "book reports" about what I was reading. I've revived this project and expanded it to include other award winning children's books: Caldecott awards, Christopher awards, Jane Addams Children's Book Award, Corretta Scott King award, and more! I hope others will want to read along and add their own impressions, book reports and comments!

The Christopher Awards, a new list for my project
I've added a new group of books to my project. The Christopher Awards.
First presented in 1949, the Christopher Awards were established by Christopher founder Father James Keller to salute media that “affirm the highest values of the human spirit.” Their goal is to encourage men, women and children to pursue excellence in creative arenas that have the potential to influence a mass audience positively. Award winners encourage audiences to see the better side of human nature and motivate artists and the general public to use their best instincts on behalf of others.
