Our Mock caldecott conference up here in Albany loved Wabi Sabi by Ed
young and Snow by Cynthia Rylant. Also loved the ones that Christine
mentioned. ooo and the Black Book of Colors was just amazing too---
not sure if it is caldecott material though. What about Kitten Tale
by Eric Rohman- so expressive!!! Or the new Kevin Henkes!!
