Give all to love:
Obey thy heart;

Nothing refuse.

The Invention of Hugo Cabret

Today both the Newbery and Caldecott Medals were announced, and no, my Mom won neither ( she writes children's books, for those of my readers who are not relatives!).

The winner of the Caldecott Medal is Brian Selznick's historical novel which with large illustrations of great detail and depth. I adore this book.

Here's the link for the American Library Association / Caldecott Medal page.
