To celebrate the seventieth anniversary of the Caldecott Medal and another decade of award-winning picture books, noted children?s book historian Leonard S. Marcus has updated this absorbing and informative picture of the world?s most prestigious illustration award and seven of its acclaimed winners: Robert McCloskey, Marcia Brown, Maurice Se...  more », and now Mordicai Gerstein. Along with a newly added preface and an introduction that provides a historical perspective on the origins of the award, Marcus takes us into the studios and behind the drawing boards of these seven noteworthy artists, each representing a decade of the award?s history. Through personal anecdotes and glimpses of their prize-winning books and works in progress?from doodles to sketches to dummies to finished art?readers will find out how their favorite picture books were imagined and created. The artists reveal their inspirations, work processes, and private reactions to receiving this unparalleled honor.  A Caldecott Celebration illuminates the creative process while applauding the talents of the creators themselves. Complete with an up-to-date list of winners, this essential book belongs on the bookshelf of every teacher, parent, child, or book collector who has ever been dazzled by the art of children?s book illustration or has aspired to create original work of his or her own.
