I add my greetings to the Sydney Taylor book award committee. The selection
required a lot of time and considerations. The list helps every librarian in
a Judaic library, that serves children and young adults, in expanding the
collection with "outstanding books for children and teens that authentically
portray the Jewish experience" (quotes from the press release).
Mazal tov to the authors, illustrators and publishers.

Dear Friends --
It is my pleasure to share that Linda Glaser and Adam Gustavson, author and
illustrator of Hannah’s Way, Louise Borden, author of His Name Was Raoul
Wallenberg, and Deborah Heiligman, authorof Intentions, are the 2013 winners
of the prestigious Sydney Taylor Book Award. The Sydney Taylor Book Award
is presented annually to outstanding books for children and teens that
authentically portray the Jewish experience. The award memorializes Sydney
Taylor, author of the classic All-of-a-Kind Family series. The winners will
receive their awards at the Association of Jewish Libraries Conference in
Houston, Texas this June.
The winners were formally announced yesterday at the Association of Jewish
Libraries midwinter meeting in New York.
Twenty outstanding books were selected from the nearly 100 titles evaluated
by the SydneyTaylor Book Award Committee during 2012. The Committee
recommends them for library, classroom, and home use.
