ALSC Personal Members are invited to suggest titles for the 2015 Batchelder Award given to an American publisher for a children’s book considered to be the most outstanding of those books originally published in a foreign language in a foreign country and subsequently published in English in the United States during 2014. Please remember that only books from this publishing year are under consideration for the 2015 award. Publishers, authors and illustrators may not suggest their own books.
You may send recommendations with full bibliographic information to committee chair, Diane Janoff, at [email protected]. The deadline to submit suggestions is December 31st, 2014.
The award will be announced at the press conference during the ALA Midwinter Meeting in February 2015.
