Campbell receives 2009 Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Certificate
Sarah C. Campbell, of Jackson, received a 2009 Theodor Seuss Geisel Honor Certificate for her book, Wolfsnail: A Backyard Predator (Boyds Mills Press 2008), at the American Library Association’s annual conference in July.
Campbell wrote the text of the critically-acclaimed nonfiction picture book that details a day-in-the-life of an unusual predator. Campbell and her husband, Richard, took the photographs that illustrate the story.
The Campbells are pictured here with Joan Atkinson (center), chair of the ALA’s Theodor Seuss Geisel Award Committee.
A writer by profession, Sarah Campbell joined the Mississippi Library Association because she shares the MLA goal of strengthening Mississippi libraries. The Campbells have three sons and are avid users of school, public, and institutional libraries.
Campbell’s next book, Growing Patterns: Fibonacci Numbers in Nature, will be published by Boyds Mills Press in Spring 2010. Campbell is a member of the Mississippi Arts Commission’s artist roster in two categories: writer and photographer.
