We have come to the end of a thrilling week of Blog Touring with the gold and silver medalists for this year's Sydney Taylor Book Award. These authors and illustrators represent the best in Jewish children's literature. On the schedule below you will find links to the interviews that have been published all week, and I do hope you will read them and leave comments for the participating bloggers.
We had wonderful high-profile blogs participate this year, and even had the award committee leadership interviewed on a well-known kidlit podcast! Because this was the tenth anniversary of the Blog Tour, we've got a roundup for you of all the interviews since 2009! Enjoy!
