Caldecott Awards are not handed out like candy, so you know this book is spectacularly designed and illustrated. The narrative is achingly heartfelt, and I suspect the committee might have been charmed by the sly references to famous children's books throughout. The idea of going out to find your home and your person rather than waiting feels ever more important a story to tell as well.
