Immediate apologies for using the first paragraph of this reaction as a commerical of sorts, but we at The Eric Carle Museum of Picture Book Art are thrilled with the serendipity of the ALA award announcements and our upcoming programs. I'll just take a moment to plug Chris Raschka's February 5th presentation at the Museum, which is a part of our series A Feast for Your Eyes: Bagels and Books with Your Favorite Illustrators. Amherst resident, Museum supporter, and Hello Goodbye Window author Norton Juster will join us for the day as well, though we aren't officially advertising this. Go to our website to register or contact me off list at meganl at picturebookart.org for more information. We do have other events coming up with other award winners listed below (Julius Lester, Betsy Lewin, Bryan Collier), but I'll restrain myself from sharing more on list.
That said, beyond any institutional excitement about Raschka's triumph, I am personally thrilled to see him elevated from bridesmaid status to the Medal. I've long admired his work and use his books frequently in Museum storytimes, professional development and my own writing about children's literature. His work in The Hello Goodbye Window is innovative, simultaneously accessible and challenging, emotionally vibrant, and alive with energy. Its interdependence with Juster's words begins with the naive style of the art--a perfect match for the first person narrative in Juster's child protagonist's voice. Other favorite visual moments:
the interpretation of the "tiger" behind the bush in Nanna's garden,
the calm created by the doublespread image of the child protagonist napping with the certainty that nothing will happen until she wakes up,
the child's visual perspective created when the she sits to eat her favorite breakfast at Nanna and Poppy's house,
the use of scale in the image of Nanna and child stargazing....I could go on and on...
I'm also struck by the diversity of awards that went to artists and writers who've made their mark in the picture book realm: Lyn Rae Perkins's Newbery Medal, Jacqueline Woodson's Newbery Honor and Edwards award, Kevin Henkes's Arbuthnot lecture, and I know the Newbery is a writing award, but I am pleased that Schindler's illustration work in Whittington will get the broad audience it deserves.
Looking forward to hearing others' thoughts.
