The Children's Book Committee was founded 75 years ago to guide librarians, educators and parents to the best books for children published each year.
The Josette Frank Award-Fiction Amber Was Brave and Essie Was Smart by Vera B. Williams. Greenwillow
The Flora Stieglitz Straus Award - Non-Fiction Carver by Marylyn Nelson, Front Street
The Claudia Lewis Award- Poetry Love That Dog, Sharon Creech, HarperCollins Amber Was Brave and Essie Was Smart by Vera B. Williams. Greenwillow
The Josette Frank Award has been given annually since 1943. From 1943 to 1997 it was called the "Children's Book Award." Josette Frank, the editor of many anthologies for children served for many years as the Executive Director of the Child Study Association of America of which this committee was a part. This award for fiction honors a book or books of outstanding literary merit in which children or young people deal in a positive and realistic way with difficulties in their world and grow emotionally and morally.
The Flora Stieglitz Straus Award The Flora Stieglitz Straus Award was established in 1994. It honors Flora Straus who led the committee for many years, and is presented annually when we find a distinguished work of nonfiction which fulfills her ideals and serves as an inspiration to young people. Flora Straus stood for the values of courage, hard work, truth and beauty, while adapting to a changing world. She believed that books about varying cultures enrich and help all children in their growth. She championed diverse opinions and points of view. She was a person of high principles, unfailing courtesy and deep understanding, and was an inspiration to all who had the privilege of knowing her.
The Claudia Lewis Award The Claudia Lewis Award given for the first time in 1998, honors Claudia Lewis, distinguished children's book expert and longtime member of the Bank Street College faculty and Children's Book Committee. The award is given for the best poetry book of the year.
