“I’ve been so ecstatic recently after receiving the Randolph Caldecott Medal for my wordless picture book, The Lion and the Mouse. Over the years, I have happily been the recipient of 5 Randolph Caldecott Honors and now earning this medal is just amazing. Not to mention, as of February 1, 2010, The Lion and the Mouse has been on The New York Times Children’s Book Best Seller’s list for 12 weeks. Thank you everyone!” “Currently my new year is full of exhibitions I am really excited about. There is the Heart and Soul Exhibit currently running at the Art institute of Chicago until April and the African-American Journey of Freedom exhibit at the Schomberg in New York from February 5th to April, as well. Please visit the Events/Exhibitions section for more info on these events as well as future exhibits” -- Jerry Pinkney, 2010 |
