It was illustrated by Marla Frazee, and won the Caldecott Award in 2010. In March 2011, Scanlon's third book, illustrated by Arthur Howard, Noodle and Lou, a story following a pair of unlikely friends, a bird and a worm, was released.[1] Following Noodle and Lou came another children's book, Think Big, which is a "lyrical celebration of imagination and creativity in many child-friendly forms — painting, writing, acting, cooking, dancing and more, was illustrated by Vanessa Newton and published by Bloomsbury in Summer 2012."[2] Happy Birthday Bunny was released in January 2013 and was illustrated by Stephanie Graegin.[3] Scanlon is also reported to publish another children's book titled The Good- Pie Party, which is set to be illustrated by Kady MacDonald Denton and released in 2014.[4]
