The Kerlan Award
Yesterday, Saturday 18, the Kerlan Award Committee honored author Sharon Creech at the 2015 Annual Kerlan Award Ceremony at the University of Minnesota. "The award is given in recognition of singular attainments in the creation of children's literature and in appreciation of the generous donation of unique resources to the
Kerlan Collection for the study of children's literature." (Credit: Winter 2015 Newsletter). To visit Sharon and learn more about her, visit her online at

Sharon's remarks at the ceremony included a description of her writing career, which was of interest to everyone. Before the ceremony I attended the luncheon and met Sharon, who incidentally knows some people I know! A wonderful afternoon in a roomful of readers with a talented and gracious woman.
Nice photos of a happy lady.
