About the Awards
The Newberry Book Award is a very well known award that is awarded to children's authors. This award is the oldest children's award in the world and it was established by John Newberry. This award is awarded once every year. People get because they wrote a book that is a "great benefit to children's reading".

Dorothy Canfield Fisher Children's Book Award. This award is awarded to one author every year. It was started in Vermont, 1964 every year one author wins this award and the get invited to Vermont to talk to kids about their book.

Schneider Family Book Award
This award is won when a author publishes a book that artistically describes what it is like to be a child with a disability. This award is a fairly new one because it was established in 2003 which is very new for a book award. 3 authors are chosen each year for this award. I think that it is very good to give an award out to writers who describe disabled people in different but very realistic ways.
