Just in time for Spring Break reading, the 2025 Caudill nominees are ready for checkout! Thanks to @WJHS_Wildcats Home & School for all of the books and playaway audio books! @RCYRBA
Scenes from a #Middlegrade Author spending a day in the Glencoe/Winnetka #Illinois area talking to @RCYRBA and @bluestemaward voters (aka kids) and signing more than 150 books. Now I know why John Hughes set all his movies there.
For the first time in YEARS, a Bulldog has read ALL the books on the @RCYRBA list! Of the 20 paw prints she earned, her favorite was The Last Cuentista by @donnabarbahiguera
Thank you so much for this amazing honor. I am so grateful! 🙏❤️
Thank you to all the Illinois readers who voted!! And congratulations to @meganefreeman!
@MrSchuReads @RCYRBA @EastWestLit @SimonKIDS @SSEdLib @SCBWIRockyMtn In all my travels, I have yet to see a state that engages more enthusiastically with their list. Illinois readers and librarians are AMAZING.
