The 2025 Children’s Literature Legacy Award Committee is asking the ALSC membership to submit authors and illustrators for consideration.
The Children’s Literature Legacy Award is awarded every year to an author or illustrator whose work, published in the United States, has over a period of years made a substantial contribution to literature for children through books that demonstrate integrity, and respect for all children’s lives and experiences.
