The #CallingCaldecott bloggers take a look at the impact that illustrator #JerryPinkney has had on the legacy of the #Caldecott Award: https://t.co/A3NdBmykTF @SevenImp @mvpHornBook
#CallingCaldecott: @MarjorieIngall on Peter Sís's "Nicky & Vera" (@NYRBooks), which "employs his characteristic maps, mazes, graphic borders, stamps, + circles...in a story about a border-crossing, document-forging, labyrinthine wartime rescue effort." https://t.co/8r59ICxaYA
#CallingCaldecott: Dean Schneider on @cordellmatthew's "Bear Island" @FeiwelFriends/@MacKidsBooks: "What a rich reading experience a magnificent PB can be. Cordell’s illus. + text work beautifully together, w/ so much story + emotion related in the illus." https://t.co/3bHx3fm3Rp
#CallingCaldecott: @emmie_stuart on Patricia MacLachlan + @micha_archer's "Prairie Days" (@SimonKIDS): "Poetry + picture come together to create a bk that provides children w/ a 'visual experience' that's altogether mesmerizing + worthy of the #Caldecott." https://t.co/8n8fRBzIhd
#CallingCaldecott: Rachel Payne on David Elliott + Rob Dunlavey's "In the Woods": "What I admire is that Dunlavey’s work breathes. Illus. is a static art form, but a talented artist offers the illusion that the creatures could start moving at any minute." https://t.co/yvWiHUbiKA
#CallingCaldecott: @ShoshanaFlax on @underwoodwriter + @CindyDerby's "Outside In" (@HMHKids), which "particularly nails the #Caldecott criterion of 'appropriateness of style of illustration to the story, theme or concept.'" https://t.co/kkPn3SxCAv
ICYMI: @RogerReads on suspension of disbelief, #CallingCaldecott, + "Flamer": "I usually hesitate to announce an opinion before I've written the review...but @MikeCurato's 'Flamer' really took over my weekend + my imagination, + I'd recommend it widely." https://t.co/8EKDKM3mOV
At #CallingCaldecott, Elissa Gershowitz writes that what Raúl the Third does in the illustrations for ¡VAMOS!: LET'S GO THE MARKET, as well as "the cumulative effect the illustrations have," is nothing short of "spectacular." -- https://t.co/VJwO4DTkR7 @HornBook
"We ... see that the children in these illustrations resist sameness, the commonly held assumption that Indigenous people all look a certain way." Emily Prabhaker visits #CallingCaldecott to write about FRY BREAD, ill. by Juana Martinez-Neal: https://t.co/rhM08bxV58. @HornBook
GO! GO! Pedal to the metal. GO READ Martha Parravano's post on VROOM! "Barbara McClintock's VROOM! is one of my favorite picture books of 2019 for very young children," she writes. https://t.co/17uerfmSvc @HornBook #CallingCaldecott
At #CallingCaldecott today, Hillary Saxton on Kyle Lukoff’s WHEN AIDAN BECAME A BROTHER. Hillary likes the tenderness, soft colors, and playful details of Kaylani Juanita's illustrations -- plus some. More here: https://t.co/3JYqZ9jiK7. @HornBook
#CallingCaldecott: CaldeComics, Part One by Alec Chunn @thestoriesguy: Following This One Summer's lead, which comic will be the next to get some Caldecott love? https://t.co/kMFQn6JumE
#CallingCaldecott: Jules looks at some picture books published in (and around) April that are on our radar @SevenImp https://t.co/UzqHP4YbwU
