Texas Bluebonnet Award Winner 2009

This week was the TLA Convention in Houston.  The TBA Banquet was Thursday and the TBA was presented to author, Cynthia DeFelice and illustrator, Andrea U'Ren. The event is the highlight of the conference with Texas students presenting them with the award!  As a member of the TBA  Committee, I had the pleasure of meeting these two amazing ladies. We presented them with a James Avery Texas necklace. They were so warm and gracious. The students and the librarians fell in love with them. I'm thankful to be a small part of this award and event. 

Texas Bluebonnet Award

I have been a little busy lately and not blogging.  I found out a few weeks ago that I have been appointed to the Texas Bluebonnet Awards Selection Committee.  I am one of 10 Texas librarians who will be reading, reviewing, and selecting 20 books for the Master List starting in 2008-2009.  I am so excited to serve on this committee for the next 3 years.  What an honor and fantastic opportunity for me to learn more about great literature!  I will get to share more great books to get kids hooked on reading!
