Caldecott Acceptance Speech - July 2, 1947
For The Little Island, By Golden MacDonald Illustrated by Leonard Weisgard

"I saw this island grow tall and squat as the tides rose and fell. I’ve watched the mists blow in and hide the little island, sometimes leaving only the pine tree tops exposed, hanging in space. I rowed to and from the little island with the seals spawning below the surface of the water. I’ve seen the sun rise and make a golden island for just five seconds in an early morning sea."
