Orbis Pictus Award for Outstanding Nonfiction for Children
"The National Council of Teachers of English established the Orbis Pictus Award in 1989 to promote excellence in children’s nonfiction. The award was named after the 1657 work considered to be the very first book specifically created for chidlren: ""Orbis Pictus (The World in Pictures)"" by Johannes Amos Comenius. Previous awards are available year by year, and include not only the winner and a handful of runner-ups (called honor books), but also a list of a dozen or so recommended books."

Official Katherine Paterson Site
"Another contemporary writer that shows up frequently on banned book lists is Katherine Paterson. Her Newbery Award-winning Bridge to Terabithia has been challenged due to "profanity, disrespect of adults, and an elaborate fantasy world that might lead to confusion." When asked how she responds to those wanting to ban The Great Gilly Hopkins, Ms. Paterson replied "Gilly is a lost child who lies, steals, bullies . . . She would not be real if her mouth did not match her behavior.""
