For those seeing Uri Shulevitz get the Sydney Taylor Body of Work Award at the #ALAYMA, don't miss this book as well -- very much worth finding for any picture-book writer, illustrator, or aficionado!
Cheryl B. Klein@cherylklein.bsky.social · 2y agoThis book is long out of print, but if you want to learn how to write or illustrate picture books, it’s my #1 recommendation: WRITING WITH PICTURES by Caldecott winner URI Shulevitz. A brilliant story class + art school in one volume!
My kids immediately loved this book. So, so glad it won an honor!!
Kristie Choi@kristiechoi.bsky.social · 8mo agoDrew Beckmeyer’s Stalactite & Stalagmite has won a Caldecott Honor!

On only my second year of opening two libraries, I have such a tremendous respect for those folks serving multiple sites. I will do my best and let the needs in front of me dictate my time and energy, but I wish it could be different. Our students deserve better. 😔 #TLSky #Skybrarians
Processing new titles makes me so happy when I get to save them for specific students. Watching their faces light up with joy when I hand them a requested title NEVER gets old! #TLSky #Schooibraries #Skybrarian
This fantastic book is helping me shape our opening lessons for 4th and 5th grade about reading habits. The humor will get their attention. Can't wait to read this with students! @joannahowrites.bsky.social @carolinekpritchard.bsky.social @dansantat.bsky.social #KidLit #TLSky #Skybrarians
