CCBC Announces Winner of 2012 Charlotte Zolotow Award
The winner of the 15th annual Charlotte Zolotow Award for outstanding writing in a picture book is Me … Jane, written and illustrated by Patrick McDonnell.
The award is given by the Cooperative Children's Book Center, a library of the School of Education at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and will be formally presented on March 3, 2012 in Madison, WI.
McDonnell’s picture book about chimpanzee researcher Jane Goodall as a child depicts her as a curious, scientific-minded young girl whose favorite stuffed animal was a chimpanzee named Jubilee. She took the stuffed chimp everywhere as she explored and carefully observed the natural world of her childhood . . . and dreamed of someday going to Africa.
McDonnell’s spare, skillful, and superbly paced text balances a sense of playfulness with purpose as he conveys Goodall’s focus and determination.
