Blog Launch with Double Bass Blues

Welcome to the brand new Picture Book Summit blog!

What is the perfect way to start a new Picture Book Summit blog? How about featuring the Oscars of the picture book world—the Caldecott Medal and Honor Books? Each year, our founders gather together for an in-depth analysis of the winning books. We analyze the text, the illustrations, and how they combine to create an award-winning picture book. Over the next two weeks, we’ll share our thoughts on each of this year’s amazing books. Most importantly, we hope our conversations will inspire you to look for ways to elevate your own picture book manuscripts.

First off, our hearty congratulations to the 2020 Caldecott Medal and Honors Books! THE UNDEFEATED by Kwame Alexander and Kadir Nelson took home the 2020 Caldecott Medal.

The Caldecott Committee recognized these books as 2020 Caldecott Honor Books: BEAR CAME ALONG by Richard T. Morris and LeUyen Pham, GOING DOWN HOME WITH DADDY by Kelly Starling Lyons and Daniel Minter, and DOUBLE BASS BLUES by Andrea J. Loney and Rudy Gutierrez.
