In reporting kiddy lit news a few days ago, Bayard Rustin: The Invisible Activist co-authored by Jacqueline Jaeger Houtman (a former CWW Tofte/Wright Children’s Literature Award) somehow didn’t make it in as one of the titles among Cooperative Children’s Book Center’s CHOICES for 2015. Congratulations to Jacqueline!
