Every year the American Library Association announces the Caldecott and Newbery Medal winning books at their mid-Winter conference. The event was webcast this morning. Once the winners are announced, we hustle out to purchase a copy or two of the winning books, since they will be tougher to find within a week. The books become instant ‘classics’ – rarely do Newbery or Caldecott Medal winning books go out of print. <\/p>\n

Today, because of the awards, the respective publishers have started the process of making additional printings to serve the market. Barnes & Noble is already marketing the winning books on their home page. Such is the power of the ALA. See today’s winners, at 2007 ALA Awards<\/a>. <\/p>\n

In the past couple of years, the Newbery Medal winning book has skyrocketed in value. There are 9 copies of the Single Shard<\/strong><\/em>, the 2001 winner, on ABE, each selling for over $500. ABE has 4 copies of Kira-Kira<\/strong><\/em>, the 2005 winner, each selling for over $600. ABE has 19 copies of Criss Cross<\/strong><\/em>, last year’s winner, listed for over $100. <\/p>\n

This year, again, the ALA has selected an obscure, under-printed book, The Higher Power of Lucky<\/strong><\/em>, by Susan Patron, as the Newbery winner. This is the second year in a row that Borders did not stock the Newbery Medal book in advance of winning. <\/p>\n

As an aside, David Wiesner has now won his third Caldecott Medal, this year winning for Flotsam<\/a>. Wiesner won in 1992 for Tuesday<\/strong><\/em>, and in 2002 for The Three Pigs<\/strong><\/em>. He now joins Marcia Brown as the only 3 time winner. Wiesner has also won two Caldecott Honor awards, and yet is still relatively underappreciated within the collectible book market. <\/p>\n

Tooting our horn a bit, from our book, the Children’s Picturebook Price Guide<\/strong><\/em>: Most Valuable Books – 1990’s <\/p>\n

\n

"This list is dominated by the seven Caldecott Medal award books, headed by David Wiesner’s Tuesday<\/strong><\/em>. Tuesday <\/strong><\/em>is becoming moderately difficult to find, and Wiesner’s regard within the market place has been enhanced by winning a second Caldecott Medal with The Three Pigs<\/strong><\/em>, and a second Caldecott Honor for Sector 7<\/strong><\/em>. In our opinion, David Wiesner’s wordless books are the best that have been crafted. As an aside, Wiesner also illustrated E.T., The Storybook<\/em><\/strong>, published in 1982, which is 97th on the Publisher’s Weekly list of bestselling children’s books."<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
