Caldecott Winner
The Adventures of Beekle: The Unimaginary Friend By Dan Santat
This magical story begins on an island far away where an imaginary friend is born. He patiently waits his turn to be chosen by a real child, but when he is overlooked time and again, he sets off on an incredible journey to the bustling city, where he finally meets his perfect match and-at long last-is given his special name: Beekle.
Newbery Winner
The Crossover by Kwame Alexander
“Alexander has the swagger and cool confidence of a star player and the finesse of a perfectly in-control ball-handler…[He] brings the novel-in-verse format to a fresh audience with this massively appealing package for reluctant readers, athletes especially.” –The Horn Book Magazine

James Dean
Born 1957 in Fort Payne, Alabama, James Dean spent the majority of his early years watching his father, a self-taught artist, reproduce the art of the masters as a hobby. James, only in first grade, began drawing from cartoons such as Disney and Snoopy. His grandmother was the first to hang a James Dean original on the wall, a well-done drawing of Yogi Bear!
Question? Who was Dean’s inspiration for Pete the Cat?
