Newbery winner Rebecca Stead visited New York City bookstores last weekend for her debut picture book, Anything (Chronicle), illustrated by Caldecott Honor winner Gracey Zhang. Pictured: Stead at Lofty Pigeon Books in Brooklyn, with booksellers Roxanne (l.) and Ienna (r.). Stead signed stock and brought booksellers homemade cupcakes that looked like the cake from the book. The day before, Stead and Zhang appeared at Books of Wonder, where Zhang decorated the store display window for Independent Bookstore Day.
