Talk:Gail E. Haley

UK and US medals for illustration, Greenaway and Caldecott
Haley won the Caldecott in 1971 and the Greenaway in 1976 (as this stub says). If our two tables are correct and I clerk correctly, Haley is the only Greenaway Medal winner (annual from 1955) to be so much as a finalist for the Caldecott Medal (annual from 1937).

Both Medals currently require national publication of the winning work without restriction on the citizenship or residence of the winning illustrator. The UK Carnegie Medal (from 1936, author of year's best book) was originally restricted to British authors, and the US Newberry Medal is restricted to citizen and resident authors. I take those as clues that the medals for illustration may have been restricted similarly in the past. --P64 (talk) 17:49, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

Library of Congress Catalog data
In expanding this "biography" from a short Stub to a medium Stub, i have used the U.S. Library of Congress online catalog heavily. "Selected works" lists ten, seven fictions selected with some intelligence, i hope, and all three nonfictions that I could identify. In every case the listing is an abridged version of the linked catalog record (LCC record).

With my comments hidden in both the lead and Selected works, these data will help whoever decides to make a Start of this --and may help someone decide that it is worthwhile.

(I anticipate that I will return only if I learn more about eligibility for the 1971 Caldecott and 1976 Greenaway Medals.) --P64 (talk) 18:44, 28 June 2012 (UTC)
