If you're in Westport, CT, this afternoon, don't miss this. A Caldecott party honoring A Sick Day for Amos McGee, this year's winner, features the book's publisher, Simon Boughton of Roaring Brook Press, reading and answering questions about how picture books are created. Children's book artist Elaine Clayton is on hand to help out with face painting and an art project, too. (Westport Public Library. Monday, March 7th, at 4 p.m. Free!)

How I wish I were in Westport, Susan. Hope you took pix and share them!

Deborah, I wasn't able to go. Wah. I heard that it was a smashing success, though, with many, many kids in attendance.
