Sydney Taylor was the author of the All of a Kind Family series - chapter books about a family with 5 girls (and eventually, one boy) living with their Mama and Papa in the Lower East Side in the early 1900's. The author's family established this award after she died, under the auspices of the AJL, to encourage and support the writing of wonderful and engaging Jewish books for children and teens. Written in the 1950's, this series is still enjoyed by children today.
