Great work and congratulations!!
And the 75th Caldecott Medal goes to...
Jon Klassen! Woo hoo! For This Is Not My Hat, Candlewick Press. I could not be more excited! AND the Caldecott Honor for Extra Yarn by Mac Barnett. What an accomplishment, 2012 really was the year of Jon Klassen, so happy I had the chance to meet him at the Northeast Library!

My 900th picture book!
This picture book is brilliant, creative and so much fun to read! Marilyn Singer is a genius, and Josee Masse's illustrations are a beautiful accompaniment.
