	Charlotte Zolotow - HarperChildrens
		Charlotte Zolotow was born in 1915 in Norfolk, Virginia, but grew up in several cities, including Detroit, New York, and Boston.
		As Jean Mercier wrote in Publishers Weekly, Charlotte Zolotow would be among the Who's Who of any age, not only as the author of books of her own, but as a force majeure behind many children's books on the distinctive list of Harper.
		Charlotte Zolotow has received numerous awards and honors, including the Regina Medal (2002) presented by the Catholic Library Association, the University of Minnesota's Irwin Kerlan Award (1986), the University of Southern Mississippi's Silver Medallion (1990), the Christopher Award (1974), and the Harper Gold Medal for Outstanding Editorial Achievement (1974).

	Charlotte's Bio (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		The moves, and the new schools that often came with them, were difficult for Charlotte, especially as, from about second-grade on, she had a series of physical problems that isolated her further.
		In fact, Charlotte's first essay --- written in fourth grade --- was written from Pudgie's point of view (she, the little Boston bull who was the main character, wondered what school was like).
		As a small consolation, Charlotte's father started a collection of china animals for Charlotte, about which she later wrote an essay (The American Girl, a magazine of the time, awarded her a small silver pencil as a prize for it).

	Interview with Ginny Moore Kruse
		Ginny Moore Kruse's comment on the internet discussion group CCBC-Net during May 2000, when she wrote that, "As a jury member for the 2000 Charlotte Zolotow Award, I was astonished to realize how few of the picture books published during 1999 for children through age seven are well written.

	Outstanding Women in Children's Librarianship - Charlotte Zolotow (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		She is known as a champion of honest, non-sugarcoated literature for young readers.
		Both women shared the idea that children's books should be faithful to the difficulties of childhood, and these views were evident in their writings where their respect for children's feelings and intelligence was made visible.
		In fact, it was Charlotte's suggestion to Ursula Nordstrom that Margaret Wise Brown be asked to write a story about a day in a park that resulted in Charlotte's own first book for children.

		I was fascinated by the idea that Charlotte Zolotow's "If You Listen" had been originally published in 1980 with different illustrations than those provided by Stefano Vitale for 2002 edition.
		Zolotow paints lyrical pictures with her words of simple but enduring images of what you can hear if you really listen and Vitale actualizes these images with paintings down on wood, which provide a compelling texture to the art.
		There is a simple elegance to "If You Listen" that will make it a memorable reading experience for young children (ages 4-8) who are separated from a parent because of circumstances beyond their control.

		With a perfect ear for read-aloud prose, and a finely balanced sense of the perspective of a child, Zolotow invites the youngest listeners to savor the pleasures of literature.
		It is in identifying with these conflicting and ambiguous feelings that the young reader feels, perhaps for the first time, a frisson of bittersweet pleasure that will hook them on the joys of reading good books for life.
		Of course little sister finally relents after she sees big sister break down and cry, but thankfully Zolotow doesn't give an adult resolution to the story.

		As a middle child in a loving, but often frazzled family, I easily understood and sympathized with the quarrels of this family.
		Zolotow paints a picture of a very loving and typical family that makes all of us who bicker from time to time realize how normal we are.
		More importantly, it reminds everyone that their grumpiness toward others only spurs on more bad feelings, but, thankfully, a little kindness goes a long way, too.
