The American Library Association recognized some mighty fine books this morning, not the least of which is Marla Frazee’s A Couple of Boys Have the Best Week Ever — a 2009 Caldecott Honor Award winner.
Granted, I’m already inclined to be wooed by her work because Marla is a dear friend and personal illustrator of my next picture book, but truly folks…
A Couple of Boys is a tender, funny, empathic, intimate snapshot of boyhood and Marla is one deserving winner.
Raising my glass…
Let me add a herkie to that glass-raising. 🙂
Out of all of the day’s wonderful news, I was most excited about this!
I whooped when I heard the news! 🙂
Yay for Marla!!
