2021 CYBIL'S AWARD
for Elementary Nonfiction
In my two categories, nonfiction for elementary and for middle grades, the two titles had me floating above my chair! For elementary readers will be excited and inspired when reading BARTALI'S BICYCLE: The True Story of Gino Bartali, Italy's Secret Hero, written by Megan Hoyt and illustrated by Iacopo Bruno.

2021 CYBILS AWARD
Middle Grade Nonfiction
For Middle Grade and older nonfiction readers, the winning title is MIGHTIER THAN THE SWORD: Rebels, Reformers, and evolutionaries Who Cho Changed th World Through Writing. Written by Rochelle Melander and illustrated by Melina Ontiveros, this is a must-have choice for inspiration and reference, too. The forty featured writers range across time, identities, and purposes, with dozens of others writers spotlighted in cameo insets. Click on the title for a direct link to order from Indiebound retailers, and consider clicking HERE to look back at my interview with Melander just before publication. The story behind this collection is also inspiring!
Whatever route, click, or resource you use, when you take a close look at these winning titles you wil NOT be disappointed! Neither will the kids you share them with! Congratulations to the creative teams and publishers who produced these books, and also congrats to the finalists in every single category. Making that final cut is distinctly painful, and every one in the shortlists should be considered a winner!
