Each year, the National Council of Teachers of English(NCTE)presents several awards to recognize outstanding books written for all age levels. Earlier this month at a book awards luncheon(午宴)held during their 107th Annual Convention,they announced the winner of the 2018 Charlotte Huck Award for Outstanding Fiction for Children.
Dan Santat was named the winner of the 2018 Charlotte Huck Award for his novel AFTER THE FALL, the inspiring epilogue(后记)to the beloved classic nursery rhyme Humpty Dumpty. The Charlotte Huck Award was established in 2014 to promote and recognize fiction that has the potential to have a positive effect on children's lives. The award honors Dr. Charlotte Huck, a professor at Ohio State University who devoted her career to promoting the role of children's books in young people's academic, social, and emotional development. Each year,the committee selects a winner and recommended titles appropriate for children.
“Charlotte Huck was a supporter for children's books as teaching tools,” says Erika Dawes, chair of the Charlotte Huck Award committee. “Books like these award winners, books that promote imagination, wonder and sympathy, fill a critical need in our classrooms.”
Jason Chin was named winner of the 2018 Orbis Pictus Award for his book GRAND CANYON, an illuminating(启蒙的)look at one of the planet's most fascinating features. The Orbis Pictus Award, established in 1989, is the oldest children's book award for nonfiction.
Honor and Recommended Books in each category were also announced at the awards luncheon, where the 2017 winners(Jason Reynolds and Melissa Sweet)delivered speeches. Dan Santat and Jason Chin are invited to speak at next year's Annual Convention.
