Orion and the Dark by Emma Yarlett
5.0

It's funny how I can look at a book and before even turning to the title page think to myself, "This looks like a Candlewick book." I had that feeling upon picking up Orion and the Dark and was not wrong. Candlewick just knows the formula for producing stellar children's books. There's definitely something in the water over there. I would have put this in my Caldecott contender shelf except for the fact that Emma Yarlett lives in England and is therefore not eligible.
