Emails+and+Correspondence

Most of the first two thirds of your books, I simply do not know. And in the last third, some are books I think are high quality but others not so. I can tell that some of the books on your list are included because of the culture represented in the book, and I would encourage you to keep these on the list.

But I really would like to see you seeking out high quality books that have received critical acclaim. One way of selecting such books is by reading books that have received major awards. I'm going to include in this email links to sites where you will find lists of award winning books. And we can sit one day and talk more about this if you like.

By the way, some of the awards can be given to either picturebooks or lengthier works (e.g., Sibert, Coretta Scott King).
