Congrats to this year's judges! I was on this panel last year and absolutely loved being a part of it...looking forward to your choices.

Such excitement to be working with you all! Here's to sharing some picture book fun-- and my two assistants, in the form of an almost-3 year old and a 4 year old, are at the ready! :)

My dirty little secret is that though I LOVE books, and children's books, and reading with my children, I am absolutely ignorant about picture books.

My daughter sort of skipped right from being read to to reading chapter books, but my son is much more likely to pick up a picture book written on a 2nd grade level than a early chapter book.

So I'm going to be following the nomination on this one! And waiting to find out best of the best of course.
