About the New York Times Best Illustrated Books:<\/p>\n

Ms. Brown is the director of the Center for Children\u2019s Literature at the Bank Street College of Education in New York City. She also serves as the children\u2019s editor of the books newsletter Shelf Awareness. Mr. Floca has written and illustrated two Times Best Illustrated winners, including the 2014 Caldecott Medal recipient, Locomotive<\/em>, and many other picture books. He has also received four Robert F. Sibert Honor awards and a silver medal from the Society of Illustrators.
