Here's a fun interview conducted by Publisher's Weekly with Erin Stead and Clare Vanderpool, the winners of the Caldecott & Newbery Medals, respectively.
No problem with the three winners, but the committee needs to give out more honor books. They are far too stingy with the honor citations. At least three books were unfairly passed over for the silver the way I see it:
Chalk
Flora's Windy Day
Art & Max
