Many of Yolens stories and poems are rooted in her sense of family and self. The Emperor and the Kite which was a Caldecott Honor Book in 1968 for its intricate paper-cut illustrations by Ed Young was based on Yolens relationship with her late father who was an international kite-flying champion. Owl Moon winner of the 1988 Caldecott Medal for John Schoenherrs exquisite watercolors was inspired by her husbands interest in birding.
