Black Award for Excellence in Picture Books. Now that doesn't flow trippingly off the tongue like Newbery and Caldecott. At school we call it the Irma Black. It kinda folds together irmablack. Marketing geniuses a few years back tried on The Irma for a awhile but it didn't take. I am pleased as I poured over the list how these books have stood the test of time. One of my favorite outcomes of the picture book evaluation curriculum is that our 4th and 5th graders are paired with kindergarten and first graders and they always come pouring into the library requesting Irma Black books to read with their buddies.
