2012 Judge: Matt Phelan
Matt Phelan is the illustrator of many books including Flora’s Very Windy Day by Jeanne Birdsall, I’ll Be There by Ann Stott, and The Higher Power of Lucky by Susan Patron. His first graphic novel, The Storm in the Barn, won the 2010 Scott O’Dell Award. Storm was also a contender in that year’s BoB. It advanced to the second round but was KO’d by Shaun Tan, which is fine because, c’mon, it’s Shaun TAN. His second book as author and illustrator was 2011’s Around the World. He is currently working on a graphic novel featuring the young Buster Keaton which will be published next year and, although he is thrilled to be a judge, should really be drawing right now.
