Congrats to my pals!

A big fat freaking CONGRATULATIONS to my good friends Erin and Phil Stead, whose book A Sick Day For Amos McGee just won the FREAKING CALDECOTT AWARD this morning! I knew them back when!

And also big congrats to former studiomate Leland Purvis, who's graphic novel Resistance won a Sydney Taylor Honor Award! You're all champeens!
