Sara Pennypacker Interview

There's a great interview with Sara Pennypacker in the April 1, 2007 School Library Journal. She talks a lot about her book, Clementine, which just won the 2008 Rhode Island Children's Book Award!

And the winner is....

The 2008 winner of the Rhode Island Children's Book Award has just been announced! Clementine by Sara Pennypacker won with 932 votes!

Clementine is having not so good of a week. On Monday she's sent to the principal's office for cutting off Margaret's hair. Tuesday, Margaret's mother is mad at her. Wednesday, she's sent to the principal...again. Thursday, Margaret stops speaking to her. Friday starts with yucky eggs and gets worse. And by Saturday, even her mother is mad at her. Okay, fine. Clementine is having a DISASTROUS week.

The Newport Public Library currently has two copies of Clementine available. Come in and get one today!
