Each year, our lower school students take part in a special Mock Caldecott unit, exploring the latest children’s books released in the fall and winter. Students in grades PreK – 3 carefully review and discuss these picture books before casting their votes for their choice of the Caldecott Medal, an annual award given by a committee of librarians to the most distinguished American picture book for children.📚
This year, The Last Zookeeper by Aaron Becker earned the top honor in our mock vote, with Just Like Millie by Lauren Castillo, Solar Bear by Beth Ferry, and Two Together by Brendan Wenzel recognized as honor books!
