As thrilled as Small is about winning the Caldecott Medal, he confessed that it has really interrupted his work. Mich. Stewart was born in Corpus Christi and reared in Fort Worth. Stewart will also talk about her career as a successful children's author. Books will also be on sale.
Admission is free.
