Blog Tour 10th Anniversary!
Ten years ago in 2009, the Sydney Taylor Book Award committee dreamed up the brilliant idea of celebrating each year's gold and silver medalists with a blog tour: a virtual book tour in which authors and illustrators appear on a variety of Jewish and literary blogs during a celebratory week soon after the annual winner reveal. Because the Internet is forever (mostly), you can still read interviews from ten years' worth of winners!
