Explore the art in picture books by making some art of your own. Join our discussion to decide which picture book should win this year's Caldecott Medal for best illustrated book.
This month, we will discuss Once Upon a Book, by Grace Lin and Kate Messner, and My Powerful Hair, by Carole Lindstrom, illustrated by Steph Littlebird.
Kids will look at, discuss, and then vote on books presented at each monthly meeting. Join one or all of the sessions to participate in our Voting Party in December.
