SLJ spoke to Martin W. Sandler, author of 1919: The Year That Changed America, about his 2019 National Book Award for Young People's Literature, his creative inspiration, and his extensive research process.

On 31 Days, 31 Lists I always include a day of celebration for "bilingual books". What do I mean by that? Well, either these are books that were originally in English and were translated to another language, or they feature both English and another language in their text. Now enjoy a list of books that are pretty much entirely Spanish, with one notable exception

Middle grade author David Bowles makes the case that all writing—especially that which upholds and does not challenge the status quo—is inherently political. 

Best wishes to SLJ's reviews managing editor in her next chapter. 

From the best in books for children and teens to stirring stories of inspiring individuals,  these were the most viewed stories on SLJ.
