 Yesterday the Provo City Library held its Mock Caldecott to talk about the best picture books published in 2021. This year we came up with one winner as well as four honor books. 

Mock Caldecott Winner:
By Laura Vaccaro Seeger 
New York : Holiday House, 2021.

We loved the full-bleed illustrations that told the story of a fox. The die cuts and various tones of red enrich the story and draw readers into the pages. 

Mock Caldecott Honors:

By The Fan Brothers 
New York : Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, 2021.

The specific introduction of color to the largely black and white illustrations enhance this story told from the many bugs points of view. Readers will enjoy looking at their world in a different way. 

By Shawn Harris
San Francisco : Chronicle Books, 2021.

This is a florescent feast for the eyes. The bright colors and bold illustrations lend well to reading to a large group at story time. 

By Corey R. Tabor
New York, NY : Balzer + Bray, an imprint of HarperCollinsPublishers, 2021.

The unique aspect of how the story falls down the page (and then up again) totally captivates readers. The expressive emotions portrayed on all the various animals will also enlist them to cheer Mel on. 

By Brendan Wenzel 
San Francisco : Chronicle Books, 2021.

This is a story of a cat that lives inside a building. The artistic design of the cat contrasts well with the plethora of images seen outside the windows. This is a visual feast that cat lovers will specifically enjoy.

An ABC of Flowers   by Jutta Hilpuesch New York, NY : Philomel Books, [2019] It turns out there really is a flower for every letter. This sweet book has a photograph of every flower and  a sweet cartoon illustration to go along with it. All your favorite flowers are here (forget-me-nots, mums, and sunflowers), along with some you probably haven't heard of before (billy ball, kalanchoe, xeranthemum?).  This is a perfect book for reading together, and readers of any age will enjoy every page. Don't miss this great springtime alphabet book.

Fang Toronto: Tundra Books, 2024. Picture book. When three mysterious visitors from "Europe" crash-land in Mr. Li's field, he does what any good host would: he invites them back to his farmhouse and offers to help fix up their "car".

As the townsfolk also come to the aid of the visitors and the gathering turns into a little party, interplanetary relations reach an all-time high. - Publisher Greetings Floof! Written by C.J.
