  The Kimberly Cramer Award for Celebrating Multiculturalism and Common Humanity is to be given to a book that not only celebrates the differences across cultures, but also portrays the likeness of the human species as a whole. This idea is pulled from Judith Heide Gilliland's article, "Living in Sami's and Ahmed's Worlds: Picture books explore Children's Lives in other countries". This article can be found in Susan Lehr's book "Battling Dragons", on pages 105-112. Giilliand says that "today's best books celebrate not only those wonderful differences, but also our sameness, our common humanity" (105). The book that you will nominate must be a picture book and be written for children ages 5-9. The book should not have stereotypes of any one group; rather, it should celebrate the differences and the similarities of the many groups. The book should promote tolerance, as well as give the child insight to his/her own life. The nominations are due by February 19th, 2008.
