Theodor Seuss Geisel Award
The Theodor Seuss Geisel Award is a prestigious literary award established to honour the best American children's books that exhibit an early literacy and playful use of language. Named after renowned children's author Dr. Seuss (Theodor Seuss Geisel), the award recognizes exceptional authors and illustrators who create engaging books for beginning readers. The award specifically targets books for children in grades K-2 (approximately ages 5-7). It celebrates literature that is accessible to young readers and supports their development in literacy skills. A committee of childrens librarians from the Association for Library Service to Children (ALSC) evaluates nominated titles based on their artistic and literary quality, originality, and appeal to early readers. The emphasis is on books that encourage children to read independently while enjoying the story. The award recognizes the importance of language play, rhyme, and rhythm in early reading materials. Books that creatively engage young readers through sound and wordplay are particularly valued. The award aims to highlight both established and emerging authors and illustrators.
