While nominations are open in all categories, we're also featuring a few genres at a time over the first few days — Eds.
A good picture book is a pleasing merger of text and artwork. A
great picture book is a celebration of story and illustration, with
lasting appeal for kids and/or adults. The best picture books
completely excel in art, story, kid-friendliness, and adult appeal.
A Cybils-winning picture book adds that special "It Factor." In
message, in world-view, in connection, in humor, in reach, a book with
"It Factor" rises to a higher level. These are the picture books we
bring home to show our seventh-grade daughter. These are the titles
that we recommend repeatedly to everyone who will listen. These are the
ones we buy even if we have no preschool children, and the ones we pull
out to read again and again. And at the end of the Cybils judging,
these are the books that we hope to share with you.
