Associate Professor Ruth Quiroa has reported on her service as an elected member of the 2019 Caldecott Award Selection Committee, for the term June 2017 through January 2019.
The Selection Committee met for more than 35 hours at the American Library Association (ALA) Midwinter Meeting held January 25-29 in Seattle, Washington. The judges chose from a field of nearly 1,000 books they had read over the course of a year. The 2019 Caldecott Medal Winner was then announced at the Meeting. This ALA award was given for the most distinguished American picture book for children published in 2018.
