Winners of the most respected prizes in children’s literature speak out in an exclusive collection of
acceptance speeches, culled from the archives of the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC)
and The Horn Book magazine. Featuring authors and illustrators selected during the past 10 years, the book includes speeches by
-
Neil Gaiman (Newbery 2009)
- David Wiesner (Caldecott 2002, 2007)
- Kate DiCamillo (Newbery 2004)
- Jerry Pinkney (Caldecott 2010)
- Avi (Newbery 2003)
Each speech is accompanied by the Horn Book review of the winning title and a biographical profile of

the last decade, rounding out an engaging glimpse at the originality of the writers and artists whose work
informs the direction of children’s literature.

About the Authors
For more than eight decades, librarians from the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) have intensely scrutinized the children's books published each year, selecting the winning and honor books for the Newbery and Caldecott Awards. In addition, the ALSC division of the ALA is committed to creating a nation of readers, starting with the youngest. ALSC supports all those providing library services to children, including youth librarians, teachers, families, literature experts, publishers, and child advocates.
Reviews
"With budgets reduced everywhere, many of us feel guilty about spending on 'professional' titles. Is it worth buying a book only a few patrons will read? But this decade’s worth of Newbery and Caldecott acceptance speeches, arranged chronologically, has appeal for anyone interested in the power of literature for children ... Even if you’ve heard a few of these speeches already, this is a must for most public libraries and children’s literature collections."
--Booklist
"A treasure
trove for librarians preparing promotional talks or
annotated lists of recommended reading. Reviews
from The Horn Book are often models of critical
evaluation, and the complementary profiles
broaden the reader’s knowledge of the scope and
significance of the author or illustrator’s work. A
friendly, professional tone and helpful index make
it easy for the busy librarian to consult this work."
--The Australian Library Journal
