Caldecott Dual Champ

Nothing further from the county histories. The six histories held here end in 1913 and this story belongs to 2012, so there is no passage in them that bears on it. Rather than attach an unrelated page and let it look like corroboration, this story stands on the sources listed below.

Checked against the record. The blocking item was the 1959 birth year, which Wikipedia does not carry. The library of congress name authority file does, and it is a better source than anything else in this story's chain: record n90644672 gives 'Raschka, Christopher, $d1959-' and a birthDate of 1959-03-06, with LC's own note reading 'Chris Raschka (born March 6, 1959 in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania)'. The post's year was right and the rewrite can now give the exact day. Confirmed: two Caldecott Medals, The Hello, Goodbye Window in 2006 and A Ball for Daisy in 2012. Added: Yo! Yes? was a Caldecott Honor Book in 1994, so there are three Caldecott recognitions, not two. The post undersold him. Corrected, the from-here trap again: 'From a small rural Pennsylvania county to the top of American children's illustration' implies he was raised here. He was not. He was born here and grew up in suburban Chicago, with part of his childhood in Austria, his mother's homeland. The rewrite claims the birth, which is genuinely ours and genuinely documented, and says plainly that the raising was elsewhere. Claiming only what is true is also what makes it safe to say loudly.
