Every year the American Library Association for Library
Services to Children gives awards to outstanding examples of children’s
literature. One of the awards is the
Caldecott medal, given to the most distinguished illustrations of a book
written for children ages 0-14. In conjunction with that, every year the Provo City Library has its
own “Mock Caldecott” event where public and school librarians look at some of
the best picture books from the year and decide which we think should be the
winners. The Provo Library Mock Caldecott was Tuesday, Jan 5th and
these were the books we chose as our winners.
