Rambling Thoughts: Some fun news this week–my name is on the 2023 Caldecott Ballot! What?!? It is an honor to just be on the ballot and a dream to someday be on a Caldecott committee. It feels weird to talk about on here, but it has been a bright spot in the last few months, and I can finally share with the world.
Make sure to stop by on Tuesdays for short reviews of some of these titles!
