The Theodor Seuss Geisel Award is an annual literary award presented by the American Library Association (ALA). It is given to authors and illustrators of the most distinguished books for beginning readers, named in honor of Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, the renowned author and illustrator of numerous beloved children's books.
The Theodor Seuss Geisel Award was established in 2004 to recognize books that exemplify the qualities of Dr. Seuss's work, including creativity, imagination, and humor, while also demonstrating the ability to engage and inspire young readers who are just starting to read independently.
The Theodor Seuss Geisel Award celebrates books that support and encourage the development of literacy skills in young children, particularly those transitioning from beginning reading to reading on their own. These books often feature simple language, engaging storytelling, and appealing illustrations, making them accessible and enjoyable for emerging readers.
