Jane Addams (1860-1935) was an inspired activist who struck at the
roots of social injustice through persistent and thoughtful action,
advocating for reforms in sanitation, housing and work conditions,
and child labor. In 1915 Addams founded the Women's International
League for Peace and Freedom (WILPF), and in 1931 she became the
first American female recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize. Eighteen
years after Addams's death, members of the WILPF created the Jane
Addams Children's Book Award. Presented annually, the award honors
children's books that invite readers to think deeply about peace,
social justice, world community, and equality for all races and
genders. The Jane Addams Children's Book Award: Honoring Children's
Literature for Peace and Social Justice since 1953 is the first
book to examine the award as well as its winners and honor books.
In this volume, Susan C. Griffith reviews and synthesizes Addams's
ideas and legacy, so that her life and accomplishments can be used
as a focal point for exploring issues of social justice through
children's literature. In addition to a history and overview of the
award, this work contains annotated bibliographies with
thematically arranged winners and honor books bestowed in Addams's
name. Supporting literature study in classrooms and integrating
points of reflection drawn from the activist's life, The Jane
Addams Children's Book Award is an invaluable resource for
educators, students, and librarians.
