Adventures at Wilder Farm

The Third Annual Children’s & Young Adult Bloggers Literary Awards (Cybils) is right around the corner. The Cybils is a pretty cool award. It gives a lot of exposure to a lot of good books. And it’s the thing that nudged us to start blogging.

One Thousand Tracings was picked for the Nonfiction Picture Book shortlist last year. Since Lita doesn’t have a book in that category this year, I (Dave) volunteered to be on the nominating panel. I’m really thrilled to be involved in this!

Here are the kids’ book bloggers who will choose the best nonfiction picture book this year:

Nominating Panel (these guys will create the shortlist):
_____David Judge: Adventures at Wilder Farm
_____Tricia Stohr-Hunt The Miss Rumphius Effect
_____Becky Bilby: In the Pages
_____Debbie Nance: Readerbuzz
_____Jone MacCulloch: Check It Out

Judging Panel (these guys choose the winner from the shortlist):
_____Candice Ransom Ellsworth’s Journal
_____Andrea Beaty Three Silly Chicks
_____Andrea Ross Just One More Book
_____Emily Mitchell Emily Reads
_____Fiona Bayrock Books and ‘Rocks

Organizer: Fiona Bayrock Books and ‘Rocks

Nominations open October 1 at the Cybils blog, and anyone can nominate a book in each of the nine categories.
