I did love it, too. I helped with chickens at a grandmother's when growing up and learned to identify them and know each one's personality too.

I'm thinking of posting about this on Saturday.

I was disappointed, and actually shocked. Wish we understood why! I imagine your students were sad, too.

I shared in that disappointment. When I was watching, I almost wrote Some Writer down before the winner was announced because I was positive it was going to win. Not sure if you read Melissa Stewart's blog today but she was talking about how some of the books even run more YA. I certainly thought there were other standout picture books that could have been honored.Michele Knotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05087579707297009719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-319624163132382197.post-52163951755820548882017-01-25T14:27:07.259-07:002017-01-25T14:27:07.259-07:00It's a wonderful story, Jane.

When I was a child attending Catholic school, I got into a disagreement with a teacher regarding my choice of confirmation name - we all had to choose the name of a saint, which would be our confirmation name. I chose Francis, but was told I couldn't choose a man's name. Well, I stuck to my guns, because I didn't care too much about religion, but I knew that St. Francis had preached to the animals, and as an animal lover that was something I could definitely admire! ;-)Jane @ www.raincitylibrarian.cahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12721142460522914540noreply@blogger.com
