The 2021 Sydney Taylor Book Awards

Today's episode is produced in partnership with the Association of Jewish Libraries as we celebrate the winners of the 2021 Sydney Taylor Book Award, recognizing outstanding books for children and teens that authentically portray the Jewish experience. Let's first hear more about the award. Please welcome back Rebecca Levitan, the Chair of the 2021 Sydney Taylor Book Award Committee.  The Sydney Taylor Book Award recognizes outstanding books in three categories: picture books, middle grade, and young adult.
