Which books did I share with my family and friends? The Steads' books didn't inspire me to do either of these things (but I am still fascinated by last year's Big Blue Boat) and although Klassen's hat book was a hoot to share, when I had to narrow my choices down to three, it didn't make the cut. I chose Abe Lincoln's Dream, Unspoken, and Each Kindness. (Maybe a little biased??)

The next posting explains how our list came together. We certainly know we are missing many books that folks appreciate. It will be exciting to see what our readers choose and then, on Monday, what the real committee chooses. Robin Andrew–
