Join the Worlds of Words Center Middle School Reading Ambassadors (MSRAP) as we recap our experience around predicting the 2025 Randolph Caldecott Medal winner for picturebook illustration.
In this episode, we discuss...
- Our understanding of the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) Caldecott committee's criteria and process for selection.
- How we used those understandings in determining our nomination and final voting.
- Our selection for the winning and honor books.
- How the experience informed our view of picturebooks.
We also would like to make a pitch to ALSC to include at least one youth member on the selection committee. Maybe someone without so much homework.
