Journal Article
The Sydney Taylor Award: Expanding Conceptions of Diverse CYAL
2025
Overview
[...]I design my courses to immediately acknowledge this need. In the \"special populations\" awards, I place such accolades as the Green Earth Book Award, which focuses on environmental stewardship (The Nature Generation, 2025), the Jane Addams Children's Book Award, which awards books that advance the causes of peace and social equality (Jane Addams Peace Association, 2025), the NCTE Award for Excellence in Poetry for Children, which only considers texts in poetic form (National Council of Teachers of English, 2025), and the Schneider Family Book Awards, whose winners embody excellence in portraying the disability experience (American Library Association, 2025). First called the Shirley Kravitz Children's Book Award, the death of Taylor heralded the award's name change in 1978. Ultimately, for many adults who regularly interact with children, diverse representation does not include religion; in fact, I think that, for most of these adults, religion doesn't even cross their minds until prompted. l argue that, more than ever, there is a need for CYAL book awards that celebrate the diversity of the human experience in all facets, including religion.
