The 2005 Newbery and Caldecott Medal Winners The 2005 Newbery Medal for most distinguished book for children, has been awarded to Kira-Kira, by Cynthia Kadohata. This novel is about the strong love within a Japanese-American family, particularly between two sisters who are also best friends. Personal challenges and family tragedy are set against the oppressive social climate of the South during the 1950s and early 1960s.
The 2005 Caldecott Award for most distinguished book illustration for children, went to Kitten's First Full Moon written and illustrated by Kevin Henkes. "Kitten's frustration and eventual triumph - emotions familiar to young children - find artistic expression in a meticulously crafted book with classic appeal."
