It's a beautiful book based on a heartwarming (and really exciting!) Japanese folktale. This book should surely get a nod...

And how cool -- now I must go find Zen Shorts and Mrs. Rumphius... Thanks for those suggestions! And let me also just say that your book <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Pulelehua-Mamaki-Janice-Crowl/dp/1581780907" rel="nofollow">Pulelehua and Mamaki</a> is a real favorite around here, too. It has been read and referred to many, many, many times. I'll have to do a post about it soon! Leslie Thanks for your comment, Janice.

My favorite Caldecott winner is Zen Shorts, by John Muth. It made me into a fan of his works...Second graders and up really enjoy Stillwater the Panda. Ox Cart Man and and Mrs. Rumphius were favorites of my two children too (now grown into one teen and one adult)... It's true...reading to your kids is like getting to be a kid all over again. And these days you see artwork that is exceptionally beautiful too. Enjoy! Hi Leslie –
