LIBRARY OF CONGRESS NATIONAL BOOK FESTIVAL

The Mathematical Sciences Research Institute (MSRI) and the Children's Book Council recently recognized outstanding math-related fiction and nonfiction for young readers with a "Mathical" award. This award inspires children of all ages to cultivate a love of math in the world around them. The selection panel--mathematicians, teachers, librarians, and early childhood experts--evaluated books of all kinds from picture books and novels to narrative nonfiction. And guess what?

Over in a River, Flowing Out to the Sea, published by Dawn Publications is a winner in the Pre-K category.

Steve Light "Have You Seen My Dragon? (Candlewick Press) won first place
Mac Barnett ""Count the Monkeys" (Disney/Hyperion) won honorable mention along with me.

We will be at the National Book Festival in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, September 5 , along with hundreds of other authors from all different genres. See:
www.loc.gov/bookfest . There is something for everyone!

The National Book Festival is a Washington tradition attracting book lovers from all over the country for the past 15 years. Attendance is expected at 75,000.

The Mathical Station will be on the exhibit floor and will highlight a variety of mathematical literary activities throughout the day. I will be at Booth 112 from 11-1-pm. Please spread the word, and wish me luck! What an honor to be part of this incredible celebration of reading (and math).
