New Children's Literature Ambassador is a Vermonter!
Today, the Library of Congress will appoint a new ambassador for children's literature. Jon Scieszka, the reigning poobah, will hand over the mantle to Barre, Vermont-based Katherine Paterson, author of Bridge to Terabithia, The Great Gilly Hopkins, as well as many other fantastic novels. Her latest book, The Day of the Pelican, is the 2010 Vermont Reads book (and is available in the CHMS Library!).
