This unique and useful directory offers librarians, educators, and students of children's literature a diverse listing of children's and young adult books that have been recognized by culturally-specific awards about Jewish, African-American, Latino, Caribbean, and Asian-American cultures. Part I provides an overview of the awards (such as the Pura Belpré and Coretta Scott King Award), and Part II provides an alphabetical list of titles with a brief synopsis and publication information. There is also a topical index and an index of authors, editors, illustrators, and translators.
