CCS Kids Book Wins Gryphon Award
Adventures In Cartooning, a collaborative effort between Alexis Frederick-Frost, Andrew Arnold and James Sturm,
has won the 2010 Gryphon Award for Children's Literature. The award, focused on work that appeals to kids between kindergarten and the fourth grade, is given out annually by an organization called the Center For Children's Books and includes a $1000 prize.
Adventures In Cartooning was also a collaboration on the publishing level between the Center For Cartoon Studies and First Second Books. It subject matter was the creative act of turning a set of ideas into an actual comic book, with some attention paid to both the inspirational and craft elements involved. As far as I'm able to tell, it's the first graphic novel to receive the prize.
