His incredible, luminous, exquisite art not only brought the story to life but also brought lost family back to me,” she said. “I can’t express how much I wanted to win the Caldecott. Overjoyed,” tweeted Chin on learning of his win. At first, the girl is embarrassed, but changes her mind when her mother tells her a story about the family’s time in China. The picture book, which was written by Andrea Wang, tells the story of a child of Chinese immigrants who stop off while driving through Ohio to harvest watercress they see growing wild.
The awards, which are run by the American Library Association, also saw the Caldecott medal for the illustrator of the most distinguished American picture book for children go to Jason Chin’s Watercress. “I have pinched myself, squeezed my eyes super tight, and it’s all still real life! What a day! Taking a minute to digest over here,” said Higuera on learning of her win.
