Podcast – Vashti Harrison Caldecott Celebration
One of our Superstar Speakers for 2025 is the amazing, talented, Caldecott Medal Winner Vashti Harrison. Vashti won the Caldecott Medal in 2024 for her beautiful picture book BIG. Shortly after that win, the PBSummit Team discussed the brilliance of this book in our Caldecott video series. We bring that discussion to our podcast today to help you get to know Vashti Harrison and her wonderful book.
