I promised you additional strawberries and additional strawberries you shall have! Today's post features a strawberry book that isn't quite as strange as The Grey Lady and the Strawberry Snatcher, but clocks in at a close second.
"It's Catch Me If You Can only with an old woman and a weird blue creature." Kate and I discuss the rare cult classic picture book that also won a Caldecott Honor.
How have we never done this one? today on the Fuse 8 n' Kate podcast we tackle the quintessential Harlem picture book (I'd argue) and one of Bryan Collier's best.
