Poems in the Attic, written by Nikki Grimes and illustrated by Elizabeth Zunon, was recently nominated to the 2015-2016 Texas Bluebonnet Award Master List.

It’s one of the most prestigious programs in the country, and has been running since the early 1980’s! The winner will be announced in February.
