It goes something like this: this is really a Coretta Scott King Award book, so the Caldecott committee will figure it will win there and might not pay much attention to it. I have written about and talked about this book a lot elsewhere, so it seems time to put my finger on why the Caldecott committee should take a close look at All Different Now.īefore I start, I want to dispel a myth I hear a lot. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() And she becomes convinced that, despite his alibi, Edward Fosca is guilty of the murder.
