Once again, the magnificent Katherine Tillotson contacted us with good news: The Horn Book Awards have been announced, and several of our favorite people are included.

Congrats to Peter Sis, Shaun Tan, Sherman Alexie, Edwin Fotheringham (a long time favorite of art.books.children)...and all the wonderful others...can't wait to look into several of these books and add them to the library wing (a girl can dream, right?) of our house.
