I am kicking off my summer by reading all of the books that were nominated for the 2021-2022 William Allen White Children's Book Award.
It is the oldest statewide Children's book award in the United States. It was established in 1952 by the late Ruth Garver Gagliardo, a children's literature specialist at Emporia State University. The award was titled The William Allen White Children's Book Award to honor the memory of one of Kansas' most distinguished citizens. William Allen White was an author, politician, leader of the Progressive movement and the newspaper editor of The Emporia Gazette.
