I posted about the Sakura Medal on April 25, 2007. Some of the international schools here in Japan award the medal to some of the students' favorite books. I wrote an article about the award. It is on pages 11-12 of the spring SCBWI newsletter, Carp Tales. Thanks go to Linda Hayakawa, Wouter Laleman, Anna Fernicola, and Rose Hoger for their input. And especially thank you, Ruth Bender, for setting up the pictures that appeared in the April 25th post.
