One of Zolotow's titles most widely held in WorldCat libraries is When the Wind Stops, a picture book edited by Ursula Nordstrom and published in 1962 with illustrations by Joe Lasker, in 1975 illustrated by Howard Knotts, and in 1995 illustrated by Stefano Vitale (a revised edition). In June 2014, the Children's Literature Association named the latter a runner-up for next year's Phoenix Picture Book Award, which annually recognizes a picture book with lasting value that did not win a major award 20 years earlier. "Books are considered not only for the quality of their illustrations, but for the way pictures and text work together."
