National Book Award for Young People's Literature

The 2009 National Book Award Winner for Young People's Literature went to Phillip Hoose's Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice!

Jacket.aspx.jpg


"How could we not know of this courageous teenager and her remarkable contribution to the U.S. civil rights movement? Phillip Hoose's riveting and intelligent portrait incorporates photographs and other galvanizing primary source illustrations, as well as Claudette Colvin's own voice, to draw the reader fully into 1950s Montgomery, Alabama. Compellingly written and skillfully structured, this important work captures a time and place of struggle, oppression, and resistance as it reaffirms Colvin's hard-earned and nearly lost place in history." from http://www.nationalbook.org/nba2009_ypl_hoose.html
