Abstract: Clementine Hunter's paintings went from hanging on her clothesline to hanging in museums, yet because of the color of her skin, a friend had to sneak her in when the gallery was closed.
G.P. Putnam's Sons, 2008.
A program of the Children's Services department of the Allen County (Indiana) Public Library. Please join our discussion of this year's best picture books for children.
Welcome to the ACPL Mock Caldecott Blog!
If you love children's picture books, you're in the right place. We take great joy in highlighting and discussing our favorite newly published picture books.
We hope you will join us in our discussion! Feel free to leave your comments on the titles we post. You are welcome to suggest new titles, as well. Simply leave a comment, or send us an email.
We have two Mock Caldecott events planned!
Families were invited to visit the Main Library on Saturday & Sunday, December 10 & 11, 2011. They looked over our books, learned about the Caldecott Award, and voted for their favorite books. Click here to see which books were elected by the children and families.
Adults -- librarians, teachers, parents, other interested adults -- are invited to attend our traditional Mock Caldecott Election on January 14, 2012, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. Indiana librarians will earn 4 LEUs for attending; all participants will receive a certificate of attendance. We'll learn about the Caldecott Award, talk about our favorites, and vote for our own Mock Caldecott Award winners. Click here to register to attend the adult program.

An ACPL colleague suggested we add this title to our discussion. I agree that its definitely worthy of consideration; I especially like the reproductions of Clementine Hunter's paintings, and the folk-art style of the illustrations.
Thanks for the suggestion, Heather! If YOU have a title you'd like to suggest, please let us know in a comment, or send an email to Kris Lill or Genie Bishop.
