The Caldecott Medal is given out each year at the same time as the Newbery by the ALA to the artist of the most "distinguished American picture book for Children." Award-winning books that you might be familiar with include Make Way for Ducklings, Where the Wild Things Are, and The Polar Express. This year the winner, The Invention of Hugo Cabret, was a somewhat surprising choice because the book was over 550 pages long. Usually the books run from about 15-50 pages, so this is a big change.

I??m delighted to review the 2008 Newbery Medal Winner, Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! Voices from a Medieval Village. Its a wonderful book and I??m very pleased that the Newbery folks have once again chosen a work of historical fiction by far the most frequent category of the Newbery winners, going all the way back to 1922.

This week we bring you the always fabulous Linda Sue Park. She most deservedly received a Newbery Medal for her book A Single Shard, the story of a young homeless boy in long ago Korean who watches the skilled potters at work and longs to make pots of his own. Just before interviewing Linda Sue, I read Project Mulberry--set in modern day, a girl and her best friend take on an ambitious school project--raising silk worms in the city.

Everyone is kind and courteous, living useful lives in well-adjusted family units. From birth to death, all the stressful decisions i
