OH, NO!
Candace Fleming & Eric Rohmann
Excited to see Fleming honored at #ALAyma last week! I love the cast of characters and surprising hero in this 2012 PB. Funny, clever and classic tale of a hungry tiger and the animals who don’t want to be its lunch!

Hi #ALAyma fans! I couldn't get into Bsky yesterday from home/snow day so I missed the fun here! Question: has anyone put out a list of winners that includes ISBNs (generally for hardcover editions)? I'm using lists in Ingram today, but I recall in past years a PDF of winners that had ISBNs.
We are so thrilled that FOR A GIRL BECOMING, by Joy Harjo and illustrated by Adriana Garcia, has received a picture book honor from the American Indian Youth Literature Awards! #alayma wwnorton.com/books/978132...

Didn't tweet about #ALAYMA today because I'm at Disney with family but wow, incredible lists of winners.
As a side note, there were a LOT of incredible YA graphic novels last year, weren't there?
Congrats to all of this year's #ALAyma winners! There are several I haven't read. My interlibrary loan list just got quite a bit longer.
If you’ve ever wondered how starred reviews intersect w/ #alayma winners, you might be a book nerd - like me! Here's my annual break down of the numbers. This is part of January's update to the starred review spreadsheet I curate with @sassylibrarian.bsky.social!

IN THE FOREST by Marie Hall Ets
This 1944 Caldecott Honor winner is still delightful! A celebration of imagination as a child leads animals on a day of fun in the forest.

THE ADVENTURES OF CIPOLLINO is a 2026 Batchelder Honor Book (most outstanding children’s translations)!
Gianni Rodari wrote this book in 1950s Italy, and in the US today, his themes of hope, justice, & human dignity remain just as relevant as ever.
