During the Children's Caldecott Committee meeting today, kids presented and voted on this year's best picture books. They reviewed the criteria of the Caldecott Medal for excellence in illustration, and presented their pics for this year's winner. The 'official' Caldecott Medal winner, along with many other children's book and media awards, will be announced nationally Monday, January 17. 
Here in Stratford, the children talked about lines, medium, perspective, and other elements of the artwork trying to narrow down to their favorite books. After two votes, the kids narrowed down to two books as their 'Caldecott winners.'" Two favorite books, Yummy and Sneaky Weasel weren't eligible because their illustrators live outside the U.S. Mock Caldecott winner: 14 Cows for America by Carmen Deedy
Mock Caldecott honor: Birds by Kevin Henkes
Miss A's Caldecott pick: All in a Day by Cynthia Rylant
