Caldecott Committee member Suzanne Harold. Barbara Head, another
librarian with Multnomah County Library, provided participants with an overview
of Visual Thinking Strategies, a method of inquiry used for looking at picture
books. Following a crash course in judging the art of picture books
vis-à-vis the ALA Caldecott criteria, participants broke into small groups and
discussed a list of potential 2011 Caldecott contenders.</span></font></p>
