The Administration would like to make you aware of a change in our chat rules regarding death threats. Role-play death threats are now acceptable in private rooms and private settings designated for role-play only.
However, if the threat is deemed serious/ too graphic enough, or if it is unclear if the threat is role-play related, you will still be subject to a ban. Furthermore, role-play death threats in public settings (this includes sniffs, away messages in a public room and private room rules) and any other type of death threat (not role-play) still follow our normal protocols.
Please click here for our updated version of this rule change (rule number 4). Feel free to contact any on duty administrator if you have any questions or concerns about this rule change.

The Caldecott Medal was named in honor of nineteenth-century English illustrator Randolph Caldecott. It is awarded annually by the Association for Library Service to Children, a division of the American Library Association, to the artist of the most distinguished American picture book for children.
2021 Medal Winner
We Are Water Protectors, illustrated by Michaela Goade, written by Carole Lindstrom, and published by Roaring Brook Press, a division of Holtzbrinck Publishing Holdings.
Michaela Goade’s vivid, swirling watercolors capture the sacredness of water and amplify Carole Lindstrom’s passionate call to action and celebration of Indigenous ancestry and community.
Rich symbolism and repeating floral patterns appear alongside distinctive colors and atmospheric light to tenderly frame the defiant young protagonist standing up against the real-life horrors of the Dakota Access Pipeline.
“Michaela Goade’s semi-translucent color palette beautifully bathes every page with powerful illustrations,” said Caldecott Medal Committee Chair Annisha Jeffries.
2021 Honor Books
A Place Inside of Me: A Poem to Heal the Heart, illustrated by Noa Denmon, written by Zetta Elliott, and published by Farrar Straus Giroux Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Macmillan Publishing Group.
Noa Denmon’s strategic use of light/dark colors and urban environments augment a black child's emotional range from joy and then sorrow and anger when he learns news of a shooting, and subsequently hope and love. Community solidarity, representation of Black Lives Matter, and images of cultural icons such as Beyoncé, Malcolm X, and others add to the power of the art.
The Cat Man of Aleppo, illustrated by Yuko Shimizu, written by Irene Latham & Karim Shamsi-Basha and published by G.P. Putnam’s Sons, an imprint of Penguin Random House.
War-torn Aleppo is given hope from Mohammad Alaa Aljaleel’s humanitarian efforts to care for the deserted cats in the city. Shimizu’s digitally colored black ink images build a powerful sense of place with thoughtful details and varied perspectives, leading us from scenes of desolation to ones of joy and optimism.
Me & Mama, illustrated and written by Cozbi A. Cabrera and published by Denene Millner Books/Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, an imprint of Simon & Schuster Children’s Publishing.
Welcome To Winners
Cozbi A. Cabrera captures a young girl’s adoration for her mother in a series of masterful acrylic paintings that chronicle a day in their lives. Light, texture, and vibrant color imbue each moment with love, telling a universal, yet an exquisitely specific story that centers everyday Black joy.
Outside In, illustrated by Cindy Derby, written by Deborah Underwood and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt.
Cindy Derby’s brilliant use of watercolor, powdered graphite, and dried flower stems soaked in ink beckons young readers to reflect on the outdoors and their place in the world.
