Words to My Life's Song Welcome to the ACPL Mock Sibert blog!
We're excited about all the new informational books for kids that will be published in 2011 and we look foward to highlighting some of the best here. We hope you'll join the discussion by leaving comments on the titles we post. If you'd like to suggest a title for our list, simply leave a comment or send us an email.
In January of 2012, we'll get together in person to talk about our favorites and vote for our Mock Sibert Award winners. Watch for details to be published later this year.

The visual presentation of this book is its greatest strength. I liked the mix of illustrations and photographs as well as the variations in text size and color.
I wonder if the way the present-day walk along the beach and the information about Bryan's life are intermingled will be confusing for kids.
Stunning illustrations and visually appealing presentation. Ashley Bryan lovers will revel in the lush descriptions of Bryan himself and of his craft. I don't know how it might read for kids who didn't already know and respect his work.
