Both sad that the contest is over and excited that I get to do my teaching picture book video reviews again. For some reason, I felt like Sister Wendy the nerdy but passionate art historian nun who used to have a PBS show when I looked at this video.  

One of the many reasons I like Young Cornrows Callin Out the Moon, apart from the kicky language and art, is that it shows an asset view of urban African American culture showing a slice of life not often seen in children's picture books. Written by Ruth Forman and illustrated by Cbabi Bayoc - this book is sure to appeal to all kinds of kids.

FYI the winners of the contest were Michelle Wiley because of her combination of talent and perseverance - sign of future success, and runner up was Kathy Ellen Davis for similar reasons. However, there were tons of great responses and I want to thank all of those who participated for their wonderful creativity.
