Should the ALA Awards Get Graphic?
I always look forward to reading here at Calling Caldecott about the graphic novels and comics that could bring home a Caldecott. Just next week we will hear from Alec Chunn and Niki Marion about the 2021 graphic novels that have grabbed their attention. We’ve seen graphic novels win some...
Nominations, please!
Hello, everyone! Mid-November is when we typically pause our coverage of the year's Caldecott-eligible books to ask our readers to weigh in with their favorites. You probably all know the drill by now — we're asking for four nominations now; three more to come in mid-December. This mirrors (very roughly) the...
The 2021 New York Times/New York Public Library Best Illustrated Children’s Books list
It’s that time of year! Last Friday, the 2021 New York Times/New York Public Library’s Best Illustrated Children’s Books were announced.

Jerry Pinkney: A Tribute
We here at Calling Caldecott are tremendously sad to learn about the death yesterday of author-illustrator Jerry Pinkney at the age of 81. As noted in the NPR obituary, released last night, Pinkney illustrated over one hundred books in his magnificent career, which began in 1964 with the publication of...
