Did you miss the ALSC media award acceptance speeches in Orlando? Or just want to enjoy them again at your leisure? PDFs of the Batchelder, Belpré, Caldecott, Carnegie, Geisel, Newbery, Sibert, and Wilder acceptance remarks are available below.
Thanks to ALSC Marketing Intern Elizabeth Taft, we’ve also provided some images with quotes below. These inspiring quotes show the passion and dedication authors and illustrators bring to children’s literature.

Love this post! And, asking if you can include the speech that Tim Tingle gave, and Joseph Marshall, too, at the American Indian Library Association’s award banquet. I have both at my site:
Here’s Tim Tingle’s speech: http://americanindiansinchildrensliterature.blogspot.com/2014/07/tim-tingles-keynote-at-2014-american.html
And here’s Joseph Marshall’s:
