Interestingly, I did not know Trevor Noah had a book out. His book Born a Crime won two awards, for Biography/Autobiography and Debut Author.  

I was pleasured to see Bernice's book, The Book of Harlan win the Fiction Award.  Bernice is a friend of the site and her novel The Book of Harlan is also an AALBC.com bestseller.  Bernice acceptance speech was cut short and the audience, understandably, expressed dissatisfaction. 

Rita Dove's poetry collection won the Poetry Award.  Dove was also a finalist for a national Book Award this year. Margot Lee Shetterly's Hidden Figures got an obvious boost due to the popularity of the film based upon it. 

Gwendolyn Hooks' Tiny Stitches: The Life of Medical Pioneer Vivien Thomas won the Children's category.  Basically, you can't go wrong with anything the publisher of this book, Lee and Low, produce.
