Katherine Paterson, two-time winner of the National Book Award and the Newbery Medal, was named National Ambassador for Young People’s Literature by Librarian of Congress James H. Billington on Jan. 5, 2010.
Ms. Paterson lives in Vermont and is the author of one of my favorite books of all time -- Bridge to Terabithia.
The Center for the Book in the Library of Congress, along with the Children's Book Council, oversees the National Ambassador for Young People's Literature project.
