Week in Review

This week on hbook.com…


One year ago we said goodbye to contributor and Friend of the Horn Book Robin Smith, whom Editor in Chief Roger Sutton rightly called “one of the best things to ever happen to The Horn Book.” Read some of her insightful, impassioned writing about children's books, then read "Dear Robin," "WWRD?," more tributes, and the announcement of Calling Caldecott's inaugural Robin Smith Picture Book Prize.
