We had planned to spend this week discussing art in Caldecott Medal books, but since Rob Reid and Debbie Reese launched a discussion at the end of last week dealing with social issues and the Caldecott Medal books, let's just continue that discussion this week and plan to discuss art next week.
Both Rob and Debbie note that racial diversity is not well reflected among the Caldecott Medal winners (either books or artists)? Another common critcism is that most Caldecott Medals (at least int he past few decades) go to male artists. How does the picture change if you take the Honor Books into consideration?
