It was Spring Break this week, so I decided to play a little catch-up with my #nerdcott reading.
With 1974 I am now officially reading award winners from my own lifetime.
Most Helpful for my 6th grade Castle Project: Castle (Honor 1978)
Least controversial naked children after Sendak's In the Night Kitchen - (Honor 1971): Ben's Trumpet (Honor 1980) & It Could Always Be Worse (Honor 1978)

| Top Left: In the Night Kitchen, Top Right: Ben's Trumpet, Bottom: It Could Always Be Worse |
Most frequent Author of the 70s award books: Byrd Baylor with 4 titles: When Clay Sings (Honor 1973), The Desert is Theirs (Honor 1976), Hawk I'm Your Brother (Honor 1977), The Way to Start a Day (Honor 1979).
Most frequent illustrators of the 70s: Margot Zemach with 3 titles: The Judge (Honor 1970), Duffy and the Devil (Winner 1974), It Could Always be Worse (Honor 1978)
and Peter Parnall with 3 titles: The Desert is Theirs (Honor 1976), Hawk I'm Your Brother (Honor 1977), The Way to Start a Day (Honor 1979).
Most conflicting feelings about a title: Arrow to the Sun (Winner 1975). I love the bold, graphic illustrations but am disappointed by the misrepresentation of Pueblo Indian Life.
