Some of the most indelible imagery in Big, this year’s Caldecott Medal–winning title by Vashti Harrison, is of breaking free of constraints, as a protagonist who feels trapped “make[s] more space for herself,” emerging into a stunning double gatefold. Big was a BIG deal this year, with additional accolades including Coretta Scott King Author and Illustrator honors and as the first picture book to be a National Book Award for Young People’s Literature finalist.

Thank you to ALA and ALSC. I was surprised and thrilled to receive the news of the Children’s Literature Legacy Award from Caroline Ward and the committee. Thank you for choosing me. It’s such a lovely salute to my work. My children are here with their spouses and loved ones, along with some of my grandchildren. If I have ever brought anything of significance into this world, it is them. No accolades or laurels will ever compare with their magnificence or my love for them.
