Newbery Challenge: The Cat Who Went to Heaven

Friday, March 30, 2012


Was it worth driving 560 miles (round trip) to shoot a Newbery Challenge video with Colby Sharp? Absolutely! It is way more fun when we chat about the books in person. Thanks, Colby!

The Cat Who Went to Heaven

OK, this is a scary image. (For the record, a friend put the "I Love My Cat" magnet on my car as a joke.)


Travis is a man with a plan: TO GIVE EVERY NEWBERY MEDAL-WINNING BOOK A NEW COVER. He designed the cover on the right.


Nancy Harrow turned The Cat Who Went to Heaven into a children's jazz puppet show.
