Great question, Beth! It might be too early to tell what sort of impact the Sibert is having on publishing -- perhaps some editors on the list will respond.
I was pleased to see ALSC change the Sibert terms this year, on the advice of past Sibert Committees, so that the award can go to illustrators as well as authors.

[snip] I hoped the award might give publishers more incentive to take risks with this type of book.
The Sibert has only been around since 2001, so maybe it's too soon to tell...does anyone have thoughts on this?
