Mock Caldecott 2026 discussion

With a new year started we are already seeing some great books coming out in 2021.
Give a plug for those Caldecott worthy books here!

I am looking forward to two books by Matthew Cordell: Hello Neighbor!: The Kind and Caring World of Fred Rogers and Bear Island. Here are more 2021 titles I am excited about:

The Paper Kingdom by Helena Ku Rhee
The Bear's Garden by Marcie Colleen
The Best Friend by Julie Fogliano
Nesting by Henry Cole
The Ocean Calls by Tina Cho
The Fabled Life of Aesop: The extraordinary journey and collected tales of the world’s greatest storyteller By Ian Lendler

The Old Truck by Jarrett and Jerome Pumphrey

In a Jar
The Old Truck

Black is a Rainbow Color

Vote for all your 2021 contendors on the Mock Caldecott list.

I pull information from this list and the "Watch List 2021" thread for our monthly reading.
It's also interesting to see the rankings of 2021 publications.

There are so many fantastic children’s books this year. So unfortunate that author events and signings had to be canceled because of the pandemic. Necessary but sad. The virtual readings aren’t the same as real life.
