Penguin Young Readers, Every Child a Reader, and the Children’s Book Council are pleased to announce that there are two winners for the 10th annual Anna Dewdney Read-Together Award, as judged by an independent selection committee. This award is given annually to a picture book that is both a superb read-aloud and sparks compassion, empathy, and connection. The award commemorates the life and work of author/illustrator and Llama Llama creator Anna Dewdney and celebrates her commitment to reading with young children and putting books into as many little hands as possible. Anna worked as a rural mail carrier and taught at a boys’ boarding school for many years before becoming a full-time author and illustrator. Anna was a committed advocate of literacy, speaking regularly on this topic and publishing articles in the Wall Street Journal and other national outlets.
