This person must be from an underrepresented minority (see definition below,) and be at the beginning of their career in children’s books. We are inviting you to consider nominating an author, illustrator or editor that you could recommend for one of these awards. To make a nomination, please fill out the following form.

  • African American / Black
  • Sub-Saharan African
  • Asian, including South Asian
