As we examine the Caldecott and the trends and tendencies in what wins, we need to look at the (im)balance of fiction and nonfiction. I believe we hav e not articulated what would represent outstanding accomplishment in the Ca ldecott categories for nonfiction as well as we have for fiction. And, wors e, this gap is rarely discussed or even noticed. What makes for great ALSC- age art, layout, design in nonfiction -- do we even know?
