Blue Ribbon 2009, Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books is pleased to announce at Cynthia Weill’s Opuestos is on its list of 2009 winners of the Blue Ribbon Award.

“Another year, another angst-filled deliberation and consideration of issues new and old and the delicious dilemma of choosing the best from a selection of the very fine indeed. We’re certainly pleased that this year has brought a satisfying variety of texts from the standpoint of audience age, and there are stellar titles within realms—beginning readers, concept books—that don’t always reach Blue Ribbon levels of excellence. Add to that a wide range of subjects—war and witches, archeology and animals, snow and scientific inquiry and school silliness—and we’ve got a list containing delights for many different readers. We hope they—and you—enjoy.
