I just got a copy of Ethnic Book Awards: A Directory of Multicultural Literature for Young Readers by Sherry York, Linworth Books, c2005. I had some contact with the author as she was researching her book, so I knew this was coming, but I was very pleased nonetheless to see the Sydney Taylor Book Award prominently listed in this guide. As a matter of fact, because it is such as old book award, we are listed first!
Other awards in the book are: the Coretta Scott King Award, the Carter G. Woodson Award, the Americas Award, the Tomas Rivera Mexican American Children's Lit Award, the Pura Belpre Award, and the Asian Pacific American Award for Literature.
