Dear Kansans: Vote. Before the end of tomorrow, if you have not already, please vote.
Dear Members of the Show Me State: Vote tomorrow.
In order to distract most from the political overload that all comes to a head tomorrow evening or Wednesday morning, I’m falling back on what will become the classic diversion here: children’s books.
It’s a celebration! Well, of art. A Caldecott Celebration by Leonard Marcus is an in-depth look at the history of the award, and seven of its most acclaimed winners. It goes into the stories and studios of these honored artists and shows why and how they do what they do. Included are the artists Maurice Sendak (Where the Wild Things Are) and Mordicai Gerstein (The Man Who Walked Between The Towers), plus five other famous folks. Quick reads are good distractions for the next 48 hours. You may want to check it out.
