- Review
- "Through the drive and determination of a small group of visionaries, the Coretta Scott King Award became an official ALA unit award in 1982. The Coretta Scott King Award, Book 1970-1999 celebrates thirty years of African American contributions to children's literature. Your guide to sharing this heritage with children of all cultures, the book features full annotations of the winning and honor books, photographs and biographies of prominent African American authors and illustrators, four-color illustrations from the most recently honored books, and interviews with artist Jerry Pinkney and author Walter Dean Myers."--Jacket.
