2010 Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards Medalist Results
The Story of the American Indian named as Silver Medalist
The medalists in the 4th annual 2010 Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards were announced October 15, 2010. The Story of the American Indian written and illustrated by Sydney E. Fletcher (Axios for Young People, September 2010) was named a Silver Medalist in the Multicultural Non-Fiction – Young Adult category.
Presented by Independent Publisher, the Moonbeam Children’s Book Awards are intended to bring increased recognition to exemplary children’s books and their creators, and to support childhood literacy and life-long reading. The Awards recognize and reward the best of these books and bring them to the attention of parents, booksellers, librarians – and to children themselves.
The cause of promoting childhood literacy knows no boundaries, and the award winners illustrate that point well, coming not only from long-established publishers and university presses, but from small presses, foundations, museums, and self-published entrepreneurs.
