The Cohort Project in Resources/Book Lists

With the Cohort Project, we are looking for nominations of specific books from your childhood based on when you were born. For everyone, but especially for those of you from among the earliest cohorts, we'd also love to hear any stories related to those favorite books; how did you come by the book, where did you get books to read, did you have access to a library, where did you do your reading, and so on.

Hotlinks to the major children's literature award winners

Organized by Award, we have created lists for each award of all the winners back to their establishment and have hotlinked those to editions that are still in print.

In addition to these lists of winners in Book Lists, wou can also find information about the history of the awards, the rules and criterion, the sponosring organization, etc. by going to Resources/Awards.

You can find the awards lists under Resources/Book Lists or go straight from the front page. We currently have the Caldecott, Newbery, Carnegie, and Greenaway award winners posted and will be adding others. Contact us if their is an award list you wish to see created sooner than later.
