Sydney Taylor
Born in 1904 on New York’s Lower East Side, Sydney Taylor was one of the first authors of children’s books centered on Jewish characters, and is especially known for the immensely popular All-Of-A-Kind Family series. She died in 1978. The Sydney Taylor Book Award is given each year by the Jewish Association of Libraries to a book for young people that authentically portrays the Jewish experience. All-of-a-Kind Family Hanukkah received a 2019 Sydney Taylor Book Award.
