About the Award
 |
| Award seal designed by Maurice Sendak |
The Irma Simonton Black and James H. Black Award for Excellence in Children's Literature (Irma Black Award) goes to an outstanding book for young children - a book in which text and illustrations are inseparable, each enhancing and enlarging on the other to produce a singular whole. The Irma Black Award is unusual in that children are the final judges of the winning book.
The award is presented each May at a breakfast ceremony held at Bank Street College.
