Walter Awards — We Need Diverse Books

www.diversebooks.org/programs/wal... it's #WalterAwards time at @weneeddiversebooks.bsky.social !! They are such a wonderful org and the authors and illustrators they honor are amazing.

Black and dark blue graphic titled “2026 Walter Award Winners & Honorees”. At the bottom of the graphic, there are two medallions side by side: one silver and one gold. They both say “The Walter: The Walter Dean Myers Award for Outstanding Children’s Literature, presented by We Need Diverse Books”. There are blue and gold details around the border of the graphic to emphasize the literary award.

We’re thrilled to announce that the We Need Diverse Books Walter Awards Committee has selected the Winners and Honorees for the eleventh annual Walter Dean Myers Awards!

🏆 The #WalterAwards consist of two categories: Younger​ ​Readers​ (ages 9-13​) and Teen​ ​(​ages​ ​13-18​).​
