Thank you so much, my dear friends. It has indeed taken me a long time to go through all my emails and I just now saw these absolutely lovely notes.
Thank you so much to everyone for your wonderful congratulations. There is truly nothing like having your work be recognized by your own association and your own colleagues. Winning the Sydney Taylor Book Award means more than I could possibly say. Thank you to the committee, the board, the council and to AJL. -Susan --- Susan Kusel Librarian Temple Rodef Shalom 2100 Westmoreland Street Falls Church, VA 22043 (703) 676-3851 sku...@templerodefshalom.org<mailto:sku...@templerodefshalom.org> ________________________________ From: Hasafran <hasafran-bounces+skusel=templerodefshalom....@lists.osu.edu> on behalf of Kathleen Bloomfield via Hasafran <hasafran@lists.osu.edu> Sent: Sunday, February 6, 2022 5:14 PM To: Rebecca Levitan <ralevi...@gmail.com> Cc: hasaf...@lists.service.ohio-state.edu <hasaf...@lists.service.ohio-state.edu> Subject: Re: [ha-Safran] Mazel Tov! Being the President of AJL has many perks, but I never thought that one of them would be to announce the Sydney Taylor Award and Honor winners at the American Library Association's Youth Media Awards. Nor did I ever dream that I would have the joy of announcing the name of my former SSCPL VP, Past Sydney Taylor Chair, and dear friend, Susan Kusel, as the WINNER of the Picture Book Award. I am so happy that this wonderful book won. I hope it will grace the shelves of Jewish and secular libraries for years to come as the "go to" Passover Book. Kol HaKavod, Susan! And Kol HaKavod to the Sydney Taylor Awards Committee for all their exceptional choices. We are all so very proud of this year's list. Kathy B.

Susan is a past chair of the committee herself and an active member of AJL and it is so exciting to see her peers recognize her work. I'm so excited for her and to see that shiny gold seal on her book.
