Date of birth
[edit]External link LCCN or LC Authorities[1] gives birthdate 1948-08-21 from 1997 CIP data sheet. I put that in the hidden template {{Persondata}}. We give April 11, 1952 in the lead and previously 1951 (no month or day) in Persondata.

- This page now incorporates the CIP full name, birthdate, and birthplace.
- CIP data is "Cataloging in Publication data" filed (in Draper's case) with the US Library of Congress by the publisher of a forthcoming book.[2] For me this is one of the most common sources for vital data about writers. A writer's LC Authorities record or LCCN record in section External links commonly reports CIP data from the writer's first or nearly first book on file. In this case, from Draper's first two books, 1994 and 1997.[3]
- Concerning 'Mills' I don't know whether those CIP notes mean that Sharon Mills was her name previously--most likely a birthname-- or simply that 'Sharon M.' is short for Sharon Mills.

Children's choice awards
[edit]The annual children's choice book awards in US states define eligible books (as well as eligible voters) in different ways. A book may be considered by middle-school students in one state, high-school students in an other state. It may be considered for the 2012 award in one state, for 2013, 2014, 2015, or for multiple years in another state.
Taking Out of My Mind (2010) for example, we list four states where it was a 2013 winner: WA, CA, NV, IL. This year I visited such awards websites for almost all US states and found that Out of My Mind was a 2014 winner in CT, MA, MN.
- Nutmeg Book Award, Connecticut: intermediate winner (grades 4-6?) [4]
- Massachusetts Children's Book Award (single category, 2009 to 2013 publications eligible?) [5]
- Maud Hart Lovelace Book Award, Minnesota: grades 3-5 runner-up, grades 6-8 winner.[6]
Many 2014 winners were published in 2012 (none in 2013 as far as I know), hence I suppose that Out of My Mind was a 2012 winner in some states.
