Students honored at EDEE Picture Book Awards Ceremony
Students majoring in education at Morehead State University were recognized by the Camden-Carroll Library for their writing and illustrations of children’s picture books.
At the EDEE Picture Book Awards Ceremonies held in early December, students from two EDEE 327 (Literature and Materials for Young Readers) classes were presented with Best Picture Book award certificates for their work. The students then read their book aloud to those attending the ceremony.
Both classes were taught by Dr. Mattie Decker, associate professor of education.
Cindy Riffe of Greenup won for her “From Dumbo to Snowball” composition. She was a student in section 002.
Vivian Napier Abner of Beattyville received an honorable mention for "Logan Gets New Glasses." She also was a student in section 002.
Casey Harmon was presented with the Best Picture Book award for “Bob and Cal’s Adventure.” The Frenchburg native was enrolled in the first section of EDEE 327.
Lora Terrell of Olympia received an honorable mention for "Kitty Thomas." She was enrolled in section 001.
The award-winning book titles will be added to the library’s permanent collection.
The program is a joint project between the library and the College of Education’s Department of Early Childhood, Elementary and Special Education.
The EDEE Award Committee was comprised of Elsie Pritchard, dean of library services; Melissa Brooks, cataloging librarian; Theresa Ball, library acquisitions specialist; John Burton, library associate, LRC; Jennifer Little, head of user services, Ray Bailey, instructional technology librarian; and Xavier Scott, learning technology specialist.
