There is nothing wrong with FLOTSAM winning the Caldecott Award or Weisner winning the medal for the third time -- but -- this was a year when the Caldecott committee could have made a great impact in the history of children's literature by awarding the medal to the first African American artist.
Certainly, MOSES by Nelson, or THE LITTLE RED HEN by Pinkney are equally distinguished.
