I started this little exercise in redoing the covers of every Newbery-winning book because some could use an update. Today we have a book sporting a cover that seems to be perfectly back in style.

I’ve already shared my 2012 Caldecott predictions, but this time out the scrutinization tools of choice are the 2012 Newbery and Caldecott lists on Goodreads. If you’re not familiar, Goodreads […]
