Featured Website: Database of Award-Winning Children’s Literature
June 28, 2010
DAWCL contains almost 8,000 award-winning, English language titles that have each received one of seventy-nine awards presented in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, England, or Ireland. Most entries have summaries, and all can be searched for by reader’s age, setting, historical period, keyword, format, genre, gender of protagonist, award, year of publication, and more. Intended for use by teachers and librarians, this database is also helpful for parents and students who are searching for quality juvenile literature. Although not as comprehensive as the subscription-based Awards and Prizes Online, DAWCL is a subscription-free website.
