Your ALA Midwinter Awards Winners

According to this post at First Second's blog, a pair of awards announced yesterday in conjunction with the ALA's midwinter conference went to comics work: their own Resistance, from Carla Jablonski and Leland Purvis, which was named a Sydney Taylor Silver Medal Book, and Amulet Books' Hereville, by Barry Deutsch, which won the 2011 gold medal in the Older Readers Category, the first graphic novel to receive that designation. The Sydney Taylor Book Award honors "new books for children and teens that exemplify the highest literary standards while authentically portraying the Jewish experience," and is named after All-Of-A-Kind Family author Sydney Taylor. The recipients will receive their awards in Montreal this June.
