Soak Up the Sun with Award-Winning Nonfiction!

Why not use the summer to catch up on some Award-Winning Nonfiction? The American Library Association  (ALA) has two awards for their picks for best informational and nonfiction texts for children and teens: the Robert F. Sibert Informational Book Medal and the YALSA Award for Excellence in Nonfiction. Though the awards were announced in chilly February, these titles are still hot tickets!

The books range from personal memoirs to the fight for civil rights to the compelling tale of the last imperial family of Russia. And sharks! Award-winning sharks!
