    I was happiest that I already have ALL this year’s Caldecotts in the library!

    So happy to see Shawn Harris receive a Caldecott honor for Have You Ever Seen a Flower?
    I’ll be honest, I’ve had a huge crush on Harris since his punk rock days with The Matches in the early 2000s.

    Happiest About: Watercress
    Book they missed: iVamos! Let’s Cross the Bridge (or Strollercoaster)
    I’m trying to be patient while awaiting a Caldecott for Raúl the Third!!!

    Very happy about Watercress! Excited to see Have You Ever Seen a Flower? honored because that one was such a delightful surprise when I first opened it.

    Watercress is a great pick, but what happened to Milo Imagines the World?

    There are many fine children’s picture books published each year, including this year’s distinguished winners.
    I notice three outstanding books did not win; I would not have expected that they would. These were “The People’s Painter,” “Nicky and Vera,” and ‘Osnat and Her Dove.” I was quite surprised, and very happy to see “The People’s Painter” win the Sibert.
