<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">On Thursday, January 16, 2014 the Butler Children’s Literature Center held our first ever Mock CaldeNott program (applying the Caldecott terms and criteria to outstanding picture books of 2013 from around the world,
ineligible due to their international provenance). We looked at a butler’s dozen of wonderful books (that’s 13) and chose one winner and 1 honor book.<br>
<br>
The winner: <b><i>Jane, the Fox & Me</i></b> by Fanny Britt, illustrated by Isabelle Arsenault (Groundwood Books)<br>
<br>
The honor book: <b><i>My Father’s Arms Are a Boat </i></b>by Stein Erik Lunde, illustrated by Øyvind Torseter (Enchanted Lion Books)<br>
<br>
Other distinguished titles discussed:<br>
<br>
<b><i>The Line </i></b>by Paula Bossio (Kids Can Press)<br>
<b><i>The Bear’s Song </i></b>by Benjamin Chaud (Chronicle Books)<br>
<b><i>A Little Book of Sloth </i></b>by Lucy Cooke (Margaret K. McElderry Books)<br>
<b><i>Herman and Rosie </i></b>by Gus Gordon (Roaring Brook Press)<br>
<b><i>Opposites</i></b> by Xavier Deneux (Chronicle Books)<br>
<b><i>Here I Am </i></b>by Patti Kim, illustrated by Sonya Sanchez (Capstone)<b><i><br>
The Big Wet Balloon </i></b>by Liniers (Toon Books)<br>
<b><i>The Tiny King </i></b>by Taro Miura (Candlewick Press)<br>
<b><i>Maps</i></b> by Aleksandra Mizielinska and Daniel Mizielinski (Big Picture Press)<br>
<b><i>The Voyage </i></b>by Veronica Salinas, illustrated by Camilla Engman (Groundwood Books)<br>
<b><i>Nasreddine</i></b> by Odile Weulersse, illustrated by Rbecca Dautremer (Eerdmans Books for Young Readers)<br>
