>I'm always trying to decide just what kind of sister we are to School Library Journal. Are we like Elizabeth and Jessica? Beezus and Ramona? Louise and Caroline Bradshaw? Or, eep, The Silent Twins?

In any event, we are going to be totally copying Li'l Sis this fall as we embark on a companion to SLJ's Heavy Medal blog, which runs throughout the fall and early winter, parsing the rules and possibilities for the Newbery Medal. Our blog, to be helmed by Horn Book designer Lolly Robinson and Magazine reviewer Robin Smith, will focus on the Caldecott:  what might win? what can win? what should win?

More details will be forthcoming but this blog needs a NAME. Put your suggestions in the comments; the winner--if there is one--will receive a signed and inscribed copy of A Family of Readers.

>Calling Caldecott

Scrolling through the comments, I see I'm not the only person to come up with this title! It's a good fit.

>As sisters, maybe you could be Laura and Lizzie from Rossetti's Goblin Market. Or maybe Daria and Quinn Morgendorfer?

I love Medallica. I'm not sure how popular drum 'n' bass music is in the States, but any Goldie fans might like Medalheadz?

>Wow. "Medallica" rules. But why not go obscure?
