Hats off to Anita Silvey

For illuminating our path to the finest children's books and authors.
For gathering an array of titles to extol the established canon
while hailing new classics.

For doing her utmost to ensure no young reader is overwhelmed
by choice without direction.

For insisting the books we place in their hands be of the highest quality:
compelling stories with themes that resonate in young hearts.

For her experience throughout the children's book world:
publishing, editing, writing, teaching, tirelessly hunting the best of the best.

For the many hats she wears, a tip of our hats to Anita Silvey.
