Not a #Nerdcott Update

It's been a busy week, and I just couldn't quite pull it together for my Caldecott Challenge update, aka my #nerdcott update. Instead here is a Not a #nerdcott update, featuring an appearance by Darth Vader and a reference to a bad but very dear to my heart 80s movie.

Mentioned in the video above:
