Back to EpisodesRAR #174: The Books that Won (and a few that Should Have!)
Published 5 years ago
Description
Every year, the RAR team gathers to watch the American Library Association (ALA) Youth Media Awards. Once, we went in person (!) but the past two years, we’ve watched together from home and texted each other like mad the whole time.
The awards have a way of bringing out BIG feelings.
These are basically the Oscars for children’s books, and as you’ll hear, we have a few Opinions (with a capital O), here at RAR. Ahem. 😇
Today we’re sharing:
- Some stand-out winners from the 2021 ALA Awards
- Which books we put on hold at the library as the awards were happening
- Just a couple of books we think should have been honored. Ahem. 😉
