The Coretta Scott King Award

This award goes to "authors and illustrators of African descent whose distinguished books promote an understanding and appreciation of the 'American Dream.'" Separate awards go to authors and illustrators; there are Award winners and Honor books. Scroll past the Award winners for the lists of Honor books.

The links in the book titles take you to the book's page on Amazon or on Bookshop.org, a bookselling website that supports independent booksellers. I have also set up a page of recent CSK Medal and Honor books on Bookshop. These are affiliate links; purchases made through them earn me a commission.

Scroll down past the book lists for links for more information and some interesting opinion pieces.
