[BHE 433] Award-Winning Picturebook Titles

Myra here.

Over the past several weeks, I have been sharing about the research project that I am heading here in the UAE in connection to diverse picturebooks. Our research team is slowly (but surely) going through quite a number of award-winning titles – from the Orbis Pictus Nonfiction picturebook biographies to the Children’s Africana Book Awards, Middle East Book Award, Freeman Book Awards, Coretta Scott King, Pura Belpre just to cite several. Here are a few titles that arrived in my doorstep fairly recently.
