RAR #223: The Books That Won (And a Few That Should Have)

Published: March 2, 2023, 8 a.m.

Every year, the Read-Aloud Revival team watches the American Library Association\u2019s Youth Media Awards together. This is the award show where the medals that are considered the most prestigious in children\u2019s publishing are given.


Today I\u2019m joined by Kortney Garrison, our Community Director, Kara Anderson, our Creative Director, and Harmony Harkema, or brand new Managing Editor at both Read-Aloud Revival and Waxwing Books.


We are going to talk about the winners that were announced on January 30, 2023. We\u2019ll talk about the books we were delighted to see honored, as well as some books that we think should have been honored.\xa0


And you know we have opinions about that. ;)


In this episode, you\u2019ll hear:\xa0

  • The impact the awards can have for authors and illustrators
  • The announcements that made us cheer
  • The book gems that didn\u2019t make the list and why we love them
