![]() ![]() No Crystal Stair has since made PW’s Best books list for 2012.ģ. ![]() ![]() Thanks, Jan and Vaunda for being such good sports! And congratulations, Vaunda.ġ. I don’t know about you, but I see another classic picture book in the making. Here’s the do-it-yourself Read poster I made of Vaunda back in 2009, using ALA Graphics Read software (3). I asked Jan if she would apply her unique skills and vision to a portrait of Vaunda, who has herself been a Very Brave Cowgirl. Author/illustrator Jan Thomas ( Let’s Sing a Lullaby with the Brave Cowboy, Rhyming Dust Bunnies, Pumpkin Trouble, and many more) did a hilarious presentation at my library for Dia de los Ninos in April, and a lovely interview right here (2). You start by asking another fantastic person for help. What’s a person to do to honor someone as fantastic as Vaunda? (1) Vaunda Micheaux Nelson, Coretta Scott King winner, librarian, and writing hero, recently received the Boston Globe Horn Book award for fiction for No Crystal Stair: A Documentary Novel of the Life and Work of Lewis Michaux, Harlem Bookseller. ![]()
