Charlotte Award/ Craig Orback

Congratulations to Artist Craig Orback! "The Can Man" published by Lee and Low in 2010, has won the  New York State Reading Association's Charlotte Award for 2012.

This is an especially high honor as the winners are voted for by thousands of students across New York State and the winners are only chosen every 2 years.

We wish artist Craig Orback and author Laura E. Williams our heartiest congratulations for touching the lives of so many young people with the wonderful content of "The Can Man" story.
