The Undefeated

Winner of the 2020 Caldecott Medal (for amazing illustrations)
A 2020 Newbery Honor Book (for a powerful story)
Winner of the 2020 Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award (for determination and courage to work together)

That’s a lot of awards! And very well deserved! Do you remember The Undefeated? It was on our library fireplace for quite a while, so I could talk to you all about it.  It was written by Kwame Alexander, one of my favourite poets/authors. If you’re in Intermediate, you might know Kwame for these books…

 

Booked (The Crossover Series)                  The Crossover (The Crossover Series)                      Rebound (The Crossover Series)

 

Kwame writes in verse (poetry) and we will be talking about poetry this month, as April is Poetry Month. Check back on our Library blog to learn more about poetry from Kwame himself. In the meantime, here he is reading/performing The Undefeated.

Enjoy! 🙂
