That’s how often the Youth Media Awards are, well, awarded–and announced! And since I’m a book geek, I asked my hubby to take our youngest to school so that I didn’t miss the middle of them. The webcast is only an hour and was in my time zone this year; here’s the first link I found to the results!
2025 Youth Media Award Winners
In the meantime, I’ve also put in two loads of wash this morning, thoroughly swept my floor, read my ‘Come Follow Me’ for the day, listened to my conference talk while working on a puzzle, tidied a few things, AND finished Witches of Brooklyn: What the Hex?!, which my youngest is slightly desperate for. I have to say, I did quite enjoy it–even if Berrit’s thoughtlessness and Effie’s jealousy had to be experienced. The plot played out in a fabulous way, and I appreciated the acknowledge of difficulties and fault at the end. (Because our kids can NEVER see enough modeling of healthy conflict resolution, especially if it’s housed in a story they’ll thoroughly enjoy in the bargain!) The other witches were a hoot–especially Aunt Ma!–and, well, the book is just fun all over. Now for my three girlies to read it so we can check out the next one!
In the meantime, I’m finding room on my library card for the some of the newest award winners, and I’m looking forward to far more than I have room for. Yay for books!
(Oh, and I’m hoping to be better this week at actually accomplishing my posting goals. The kids have been passing around a cold, we’ve had commitments, and–well, it’s been rough!)
