\nI’m taking a Sunday to point 7-Imp readers to the Horn Book’s Calling Caldecott<\/em>, where since March of this year, we’ve been checking in monthly to talk about some of the outstanding picture books we’ve seen this year, ones that maybe \u2014 perhaps and who knows and we can’t read minds, after all \u2014 the current Caldecott committee members are taking notice of. <\/p>\n

Calling Caldecott<\/em> is here<\/a><\/strong>. Pictured above is one of my favorite picture books this year, which we included in this week’s post<\/a><\/strong> (and which I reviewed for the Horn Book’s<\/em> March\/April 2018 issue). <\/p>\n

In fall of this year, we’ll have more regular posts, discussing books individually as we look ahead to the 2019 award. <\/p>\n

Note for any new readers: 7-Imp\u2019s 7 Kicks is a weekly meeting ground for taking some time to reflect on Seven(ish) Exceptionally Fabulous, Beautiful, Interesting, Hilarious, or Otherwise Positive Noteworthy Things from the past week, whether book-related or not, that happened to you. New kickers are always welcome.<\/p>\n
