My kingdom for a concluding paragraph!

I'm thisclose to finishing the first actual paper I've had to write in... a while.

I'll go ahead and spoil you all for the dramatic conclusion: I'm arguing that this book should have won the Caldecott Medal in 1981. It's so cool, you don't even know--I mean, I know jack about art but damn. That is using your negative space.

I suspect I am going to be salving my sleep debt with a very nice little shelf of children's books by the end of the semester. Now don't you all wish you were in library school?
