Such a lovely exploration of children’s book writing, illustrating, and publishing, told through six simple profiles. I’m very eager to read all of Marcus’s other works.

This is the older edition of Marcus's study of Caldecott winners. Six artists, one from each decade of the 1940s-1990s, are profiled in brief sections heavily sprinkled with photographs and reproductions of both their final artwork and their preparatory sketches. A great introduction to Caldecott history, but readers should seek out the new edition, which includes a profile of Mordicai Gerstein, who won the Caldecott in 2004.
