Great minds think alike!
The ALA, the American Library Association, meeting in
Seattle today named this year’s Caldecott and Newbery award winners, along with
a slew of others, including the Schneider Family Book Award for 'artistic expression of the disability experience.'
According
to NPR, the ALA sides with DogEvals in loving dogs and especially loving Rescue and Jessica – A Life-Changing
Friendship:
Schneider Family Book Award (for "a book that embodies an artistic expression of
the disability experience for child and adolescent audiences"):
Children: Rescue & Jessica: A Life-Changing Friendship,
written by Jessica Kensky and Patrick Downes, illustrated by Scott Magoon
We here at DogEvals wholeheartedly agree! Lovely watercolor
illustrations, an inspiring story, a career-changed service dog, an
oh-so-deserving young woman – a life-changing friendship indeed.
DogEvals reviewed Rescue and Jessica on December 18, 2018 (read
it here) and fell in love with Rescue (after all, we are dog people!)
Congratulations to all!
