2007 Newberry and Caldecott award winners

The Newbery and Caldecott book awards were announced recently. The winners are:

Newberry Award: The Higher Power of Lucky by Susan Patron, illustrated by Matt Phelan (Simon & Schuster/Richard Jackson)

Caldecott Award: Flotsam by David Wiesner (Clarion)

Frankly the only reason I noticed the awards is due to the word "scrotum". Apparently many people are greatly offended by one occurance of word in The Higher Power of Lucky. Scrotum? They must be kidding...
