Every year, our Read-Aloud Revival Team watches the American Library Association Youth Media Awards together.
These are the official awards of ALA. Some you’ll recognize, like the Caldecott, the Newbery and the Coretta Scott King Awards. But others are not quite as well known …
The ALA Youth Media Awards honor books that have been published in the previous year, so this year’s awards ceremony in January 2022 was honoring books that had been published in the year 2021 only.
For this episode the RAR team gathered together to talk about the announcements that made us cheer, the familiar faces that we loved seeing win, and …
…just a few books that we think should have gotten some ALA love. 😉
Tune in to hear:
- about our favorite book winners and people who took home honors
- other books published in 2021 that the RAR team loves
- tons of book recommendations! (Don’t worry – they’re all linked below!)
