Notables Session at NCTE
November 14, 2007
Just a reminder for those at NCTE. Do come to the Notables session on Sunday (Level 1 E03/05 in the Javits Center) . After we present our thirty books you will get to hobnob (well, chat with anyway) nine of the authors and illustrators in rotating round tables (meaning you get ten minutes with each of them). Not to mention, you will walk out with a free notable book in your hand!
Here’s our line-up:
Ann Bausum, author of the Sibert Award Honor Book Freedom Riders: John Lewis and Jim Zwerg on the Front Lines of the Civil Rights Movement.
Margarita Engle, author of The Poet Slave of Cuba: A Biography of Juan Francisco Manzano.
Helen Frost, author of the Lee Bennett Hopkins Poetry Award Honor Book The Braid.
Gail Carson Levine, author of Writing Magic: Creating Stories that Fly and many other beloved books including the Newbery Honor Book Ella Enchanted.
Cynthia Lord, author of the Newbery Honor Book Rules.
David McLimans, author and illustrator of the Caldecott Honor book Gone Wild: An Endangered Animal Alphabet.
Christopher Myers, illustrator of the Coretta Scott King Award Honor Book, Jazz.
Mark Siegel, illustrator of the Sibert Award Honor Book To Dance: A Ballerina’s Graphic Novel and editorial director of First Second Books.
Catherine Thimmesh, author of the Sibert Award winner Team Moon: How 400,000 People Landed Apollo 11 on the Moon.

We have very specific criteria related to language arts instruction. The list consists of books we are recommending to Language Arts teachers to use in their classrooms. I don’t remember it coming up, but a sequel might not be easy for many teachers to use that way.
