I reminisce about toddling around the children’s room of my local branch waiting for storytime as he and his masterful partner were racking up Caldecott medals (“Why Mosquitoes Buzz” on the new book shelf—those were good days!), am able to instantly visualize their cool and kinda scary cover on my beloved elementary school copy of “A Wrinkle in Time”, romantically recall how my college sci fi reading was enhanced by their perfect mood-setting cover art, remember graduate school discovery of the depth and beauty of their folklore illustrations, and annually sit in awe of their talent during mock Caldecott and CSK discussions with colleagues. Thank you for it all, sir!
