Congratulations to Salley Mavor's 2012 January/February cover! Salley's book Pocketful of Posies: A Treasury of Nursery Rhymes won the 2011 Boston Globe–Horn Book Award for Picture Book, and as is tradition, the BGHB Picture Book Award winner creates an original piece of art for the January/February cover. Isn't it stunning?

Read more about the cover from the Horn Book's former Creative Director Lolly Robinson and from Salley herself on her blog.

 

 

Come back next Monday, April 1 (no joke!) to vote for your favorites from twenty-four years of March/April covers. Read the Cover Madness rules here.
