Most Distinguished

Extremely talented artist, Beth Krommes, is the illustrator of The House in the Night. The book has won the 2009 Randolph Caldecott Medal for the most distinguished American picture book for children.
Beth lives in Peterborough, New Hampshire with her family. I was honored to be her two daughters' children's librarian for four years and enjoyed my friendship with Beth during those years. I am more excited for Beth and for her family ... and for children everywhere, than words can say. Here's she is with another award winner, Neil Gaiman, on the Today Show. (Thanks, Beth, for that link!)
