This is part 2 of my three videos with Travis. We pick up where Travis has asked me about doing presentations for children. In this video I start by explaining that I also did Caldecott presentations for adult groups. We go on to discuss the issue of personal bias in selection committees and other facts about serving on single book selection committees, such as the Printz Committee and the Caldecott Committee. Fun!

The 3rd video with Travis will cover books that should get attention from the Caldecott and the Printz Committee. Travis did not ask me about what will win the Newbery:

When You Reach Me by Rebecca Stead

Where the Mountain Meets the Moon by Grace Lin

The Small Adventure of Popeye and Elvis by Barbara O’Connor

Claudette Colvin: Twice Toward Justice

The Great and Only Barnum by Candace Fleming

Although I have waffled on including Almost Astronauts by Tanya Lee Stone and The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly.
