CBC.ca Arts - Susan Patron, Pete Seeger win U.S. children's book awards
A book by Pete Seeger called The Deaf Musicians won a Schneider Family Book Award, an award created in 2004 for books featuring disabled children.
Seeger, 86, a political activist and folk musician known for hits such as If I Had a Hammer and Where Have All the Flowers Gone, wrote the book with Paul DuBois Jacobs.
The Deaf Musicians is about a young boy who forms a jazz group with other deaf performers, becoming a sensation for their nightly subway concerts.
Lois Lowry, a much loved author of more than 25 books for children and young adults who lives in Cambridge, Mass., won the Margaret A. Edwards Award for lifetime achievement. She is the author of Newbery Medal winners Number the Stars and The Giver.
