Yes, it was a big week for awards. Grandfather's Story Cloth has also been selected by the National Council for the Social Studies in association with the Children's Book Council as a Notable Social Studies Trade Book of 2009!
This bibliography features K-12
annotated titles published in the previous calendar year, selected by a
book review committee appointed by the NCSS. Titles are grouped by
subject, including: Biography; Contemporary Concerns; Environment and
Ecology; Folktales; Geography, Peoples, and Places; History, Life, and
Culture in the Americas; Reference; Social Interaction and
Relationships; World History and Culture; and Economics. Each
annotation contains bibliographic data and a brief description.
I'm not sure if the list is available yet for 2009, but copies of the annotated list are available for $5 per copy (includes S&H).
