Is this really the end of the poll? Almost. Over the next few days I’ll be telling you who the REAL #60 is (you’ll never guess), I’ll reveal the results of the Predict the Top Ten contest I ran, and finally I’ll post a listing of all 100 books for public digestation. Then I’ll consider doing another poll at some point in the future (poetry? middle grade fiction? non-fiction?). Right around the time I find a way to split myself into two people.

- Hannelore Hahn
Hannelore Hahn (no biog) VLn- VIAF 29682069; V-G- VIAF 81413886 --a Dresdener Jew c. 1994
2014-09-13 Probably LC conflates multiple people. The 1982 Dresdener Jew does not evidently fit the later publications and the 1960 children's book illustrated by Margot Zemach is worse.
She does list the 1960 and 1982 books online, along with the 1975/1978 and 2001 reference books.[4]
- Support from IWWG Friends --responses to recent change in control of the organization (maybe worth exploring Internet Archive)
LC gives a 1940 birthdate citing the one title that presumably is not hers LCCN 93-25227.
So does Goodreads.[5]
Kafka bibliography cites two works both Hannelore Hahn, 1976 and 1992 theses, and a 1996 review of one. [6]
ES and ISR mix, so does ISNI
[7] SUDOC identifies Professeur d'espagnol, Upsala College, East Orange, N.J. (en 1993)
Hahn named at Margot Zemach. a Dresden Jew, born 1926 per DNB, refugee family at age 11 she says.

Apparently the website homepage covers the current winner (at least briefly after its announcement) and the Winners page primarily covers either the current winner or the previous (perhaps only briefly after the current announcement). Probably that page is revised during the year, at least for six months until after the celebration.
In the list of Past Winners, both annual titles are linked to one evidently contemporary page that covers both--presumably a retired version of the Winners prose.

08-09 "Each year, approximately 50,000 third- through eighth-graders take part in naming the two White Award-winning books. “Clementine” was the choice of third through fifth graders, while “Yellow Star” won the sixth through eighth grade award. ... The White Awards program is the nation's first statewide reader's choice award. It is directed by Emporia State University and is supported by the Trusler Foundation. The program was founded in 1952 by Ruth Garver Gagliardo, a children's literature specialist, to honor the memory of one of the state's most distinguished citizens by encouraging Kansas schoolchildren to read and enjoy good books."
07-08 "Since its inception in 1952, more than 3.7-million votes have been cast by Kansas schoolchildren to select the annual winners of the White Book Awards. The program was founded by Ruth Carver Gagliardo, a specialist in children’s literature, to honor the memory of one of the state’s most distinguished citizens by encouraging the boys and girls of Kansas to read and enjoy good books. Gagliardo guided the White Award Program from 1952 until her death in 1980."

The boys and girls voted for their favorite book from master lists chosen by the White Awards Book Selection Committee, which is made up of representatives of educational institutions in Kansas, Kansas educational and professional organizations concerned with children, classroom teachers, and school or public librarians working with children." ... "Gagliardo's dedicated and inspired leadership guided the White Award Program from 1952 until her death on January 5, 1980."
01-02 "More than 50,000 boys and girls in the third through eighth grades in Kansas schools participated in the voting for this year's awards. This year for the first time in the history of the award voting was opened to home schooled children who voted at their local public library."
00-01 Press Release "More than 65,000 boys and girls in the third through eighth grades in Kansas schools participated in the voting for this year's awards.

- --with some discussion of children's book awards
- Publishers react to the prize. UKLeGuin accepted 1973 NBA "here" in person (Earthsea #3); only by publisher's rep for 1969 BG-HB Award (Earthsea #1)
- UKL: not allegory but [quote Coolidge] "Earthsea is out of balance ina way that our earth is out of balance, man versus nature, in what may be building up to an ecological disaster. Overpopulation threatens our way of life, if not life itself. Our young people, feeling helpless in the face of mounting problems, feel a despair akin to the people of Earthsea."
For the 1969 third BGHB, publishers submitted 6 books publ Sep 1968 - Aug 1969. Six "Honor Books", three for text, three for illustrations. (statement by the judges Oct 26 1969 p A16)
