Natasha Maw of Maw Books is in her second year as a Round I Judge on the Fiction Picture Books panel. Besides being an extremely prolific book blogger whose posts range from reviews and interviews to giveaways and even recipes, Natasha's list of accomplishments also includes being a photographer, a Master Gardener, and a mom to two young boys.
Recently, Natasha reviewed one of our Fiction Picture Books nominees, The Quiet Book, written by Deborah Underwood and illustrated by Renata Liwska. This title shows little ones all the different kinds of quiet moments you can have in your day, such as telling secrets quiet or color in the lines quiet. Says Natasha:
