  • Storytime by Katie Eberts Everyone Remembers Their Favorite Childhood
    Storytime by Katie Eberts Everyone remembers their favorite childhood book. Mine is Rapunzel, written and illustrated by Alix Berenzy, adapted from the original German story. Each page featured a painting that was beautifully detailed, capturing facial expression and actions, using rich colors to bring the tale to life. The most beautiful image was of Rapunzel, sitting and staring out of her tower into the night, her long hair flowing around the room behind her, reflecting the yellow light from the fire in the fireplace. I can still remember the day when my mom read this book to me, and considered taking it away after discovering the part where Rapunzel had children out of wedlock. Luckily for me, she figured that I didn’t understand what was going on (entirely true), and I was able to keep the book and fantasize over the images as much as I wanted. What I experienced when reading Rapunzel is the same feeling that I want to invoke with my illustrations: the excitement of turning the page to see what the next image would be, and continuing to have that same energy every time the book is opened. My interest in children’s literature is often based around the illustrations that accompany them. I discovered this while trying to read fairytales from a non-illustrated Brothers Grimm book. I had thought that fairytales were one of my favorite genres of literature, but while skimming Little Red Riding Hood, I found I couldn’t finish the story. Upon further thought, the version of Little Red Riding Hood that I had fallen in love with was one that had been illustrated by Trina Schart Hyman.

Complex in ori- gins and rich in possibilities, the tale has been interpreted in diverse ways that emphasize authentic issues relating to mothers and daugh- ters, husbands and wives, love, longing, temptation, maturation, and responsibility. Poets, novelists, short-story writers, musicians, and il- lustrators have all found inspiration in Rapunzel.

  • Newbery Award Committee, the Caldecott Award Committee, the Sibert Award Committee, the Wilder Award Committee, and the Notable Children’S Books Committee
    RANDOLPH CALDECOTT MEDAL COMMITTEE MANUAL June 2009 Randolph Caldecott Medal Committee Manual – Formatted August 2015 1 FOREWORD Randolph Caldecott The Caldecott Medal is named for Randolph Caldecott (1846-1886), a British illustrator best known for his nursery storybooks, including The Babes in the Wood, The Hey Diddle Diddle Picture Book, Sing a Song of Sixpence. Many of the scenes illustrated in these works depict the English Countryside and the people who lived there. Although Caldecott began sketching as a child, his parents saw no future for him in art and sent him to work at a bank in the city. He still found time to sketch, though, and in addition to the farmlands of his youth, Caldecott began to draw urban scenes and people, including caricatures of some bank customers. When his drawings were accepted for publication in the Illustrated London News and other papers, Caldecott quit his bank job to become a freelance illustrator. In his thirties, shortly after gaining recognition as a book illustrator, Caldecott began working with Edmund Evans, an engraver and printer who experimented with color. Together they created the nursery storybooks for which Caldecott became famous. It is believed by some that Caldecott’s illustrations were the reason many nursery stories became popular. Caldecott traveled to the United States in December, 1885, with his wife, but the stormy sea voyage to New York and long train ride to Florida sapped his already frail health. He died in February, 1886 and is buried in Evergreen Cemetery in St. Augustine, Florida. His gravesite is maintained by the Randolph Caldecott Society of North America.

  • Christmas Stories Every Father Should Read to His Children the Cricket on the Hearth, a Fairy Tale of Home by Charles Dickens
    10 Christmas Stories Every Father Should Read To His Children THE CRICKET ON THE HEARTH, A FAIRY TALE OF HOME by Charles Dickens hristmastime is the homiest holiday: firesides, feasting, family… and fairy folk. The unseen gods and guard- Cians of domesticity chirp with the invisible watchful- ness of crickets on the hearths of every home, and it is with this image that Charles Dickens unfolds a Christmas tale about the fracturing and re-forging of a family. Through longings, betrayals, and reunions, the angelic cricket keeps the tempo of life and love that holds any household together. Charles Dickens was called “The Man Who Invented Christmas” as his writings instituted a true and charitable understanding of Christmas. Dickens jarred the world out of the cosmopol- itanism and puritanism of his day, even as they jar that same world out of the commercialism and secularism of today, re- placing unholy preoccupations with a holy humanitarianism. Dickens discovered the indigenous Christmas like a long-lost fairy treasure, and The Cricket on the Hearth (1845) chirps with the homely cheer he felt so fervently and shared with a new- found fairy touch. There are Christmas witnesses that corrob- orate and cooperate with Luke and Matthew—and Charles Dickens is one of them. There are creations that profess and process from Scripture—and The Cricket on the Hearth is one of many. There are fairy blessings that compliment those of heaven—and “to have a Cricket on the Hearth is the luckiest thing in all the world!” THIS STORY WILL REQUIRE MULTIPLE SIttINGS.
