Juror Comments
“What a great cover and how super considerate to so many different levels of what a family is. I love how the "sticker" also shows you that you can fill it in, rather than an accolade. The interior is well considered at every step of the design. The size, the scale of type, the illustrations, the colors, the vibrancy, and the quiet, nothing was left out. I also love that a book for families of all ages and types could reach this level.” —Brian Johnson
