Team Moon: How 400,000 People Landed Apollo 11 on the Moon
- 2007 Sibert winner
- 2006 Golden Kite-nonfiction honor
- Score: 16.57
Here is a rare perspective on a story we only thought we knew. For Apollo 11, the first moon landing, is a story that belongs to many, not just the few and famous.
Freedom Riders: John Lewis and Jim Zwerg on the Front Lines of the Civil Rights Movement
- 2007 Sibert honor
- Score: 6.57
The historic journey that John Lewis and Jim Zwerg shared as Freedom Riders through the Deep South changed not only their own lives but our nation's history.
Quest for the Tree Kangaroo: An Expedition to the Cloud Forest of New Guinea
- 2007 Sibert honor
- Score: 6.57
It looks like a bear, but isn't one. It climbs trees as easily as a monkey — but isn't a monkey, either. It has a belly pocket like a kangaroo, but what's a kangaroo doing up a tree?
To Dance: A Ballerina's Graphic Novel
Siena Cherson Siegel, Mark Siegel (Illustrator)
- 2007 Sibert honor
- 2009 YRCA-Junior nominee
- Score: 10.57
Dancers are young when they first dream of dance. Siena was six—and her dreams kept skipping and leaping, circling and spinning, from airy runs along a beach near her home in Puerto Rico, to dance class in Boston, to her debut performance on stage with the New York City Ballet.
To Dance tells and shows the fullness of her dreams and her rhapsodic life they led to. Part family history, part backstage drama, here is an original, firsthand book about a young dancer’s beginnings—and beyond.
