Ezra Jack Keats Pays It Forward: What Makes the EJK Award Unique
Abstract
As an elementary school librarian, awards season is always
a highlight of the year. Having been fortunate enough to
serve on both the Newbery and Caldecott committees, I
am deeply aware of how hard committees work to sort through
the amazing volume of books published for children each year, to
find the ones that have a special quality. The Ezra Jack Keats (EJK)
Award is no different in its pursuit of excellence
