Publications about books for children and young adults
>Our new blog about all things Caldecott Medal, debuting this fall, will be called Calling Caldecott, a name first suggested to us by Anamaria of Books Together. It was the first suggestion! So, Anamaria, send your mailing address to kbircher at hbook dot com and we’ll get you your copy of A Family of Readers.
Any early Medal contenders out there?
