Once again I had the honor of being invited to participate as a reviewer for the Horn Book’s Calling Caldecott series.
For those of you unfamiliar with Calling Caldecott, it’s a fantastic series of posts by guest writers, reviewers, librarians, and children’s books lovers that aim to praise the ‘Caldecott worthy qualities’ of certain books.
Weirdly enough, all three years I’ve participated, I’ve written about book that contain a father-child trip/trek. This year, I was tasked with reviewing Matt Ringler’s Strollercoaster. Illustrated by Raúl the Third and Elaine Bay, Strollercoaster is a smorgasboard of eclectic illustrations and vibrant colors, true to the duo’s style. Hailing from my the Juárez-El Paso border (my own hometown) the duo has previously worked together in the ¡VAMOS! series. Check out the book and discover the detailed world imbued in this strollercoaster ride!
