LOVE the love for BIG! An amazingly powerful title; surprised, however, that Dan Santat wasn’t honored by Newbery for his memoir!
I feel the same way, Sharon!
I saw First Time for Everything at the public library last night and audibly gasped in realization that it wasn’t honored. Thank goodness for the National Book Award committee!
