Christopher Curtis pulled off a literary two-fer 2000, winning both the prestigious John Newbury Award for children's books, and the Coretta Scott King award for excellence by an African American in writing for children. The novel that has earned him such acclaim is "Bud, not Buddy." Set in the segregated Depression-era Midwest, the book introduces us to a ten-year-old orphan.
