Red
Arguably one of the hardest things Caldecott committee members must do is put previous books by prolific illustrators out of their heads. While Red by Laura Vaccaro Seeger stands gloriously on its own, will the committee be able to put aside the experience of reading Green, which won a 2013 Caldecott...

Bluebird and Bully
Covers make the book, and both of these titles, related by theme, have stunning covers. Once you see them, you are unlikely to forget them. That lone bluebird flying over the city portends the poignant story within, and that bull, bathed in bold red, defiantly glaring, dares the reader to even...
