International Literature Awards for children's books

1.) The Mildred L. Batchelder Award was created in 1968 and is awarded to the American publisher of a children's work that was originally published in another country and in a language other than English. The book must have been translated to English and published within the United States during the year before. It is given anually by the American Library Association and named in honor of a former director of the Association for Library Service to Children. The criteria for determining award winners is based upon: focus of attention, relationship to original work, and quality of the United States version of the book.

2.) The Australian Picture Book of the Year Award was created in 1956 and is sponsored by the Children's Book Council of Australia. It is presented each August for a book written by an Australian author. According to the official award website, the award is given to an "outstanding picture book with an author and illustrator that have achieved artistic and literary unity."
The award may also be given to a wordless storybook under the conditions that "the book has a story and theme that are unified through the illustrations."

3.) The Great Britain Kate Greenaway Medal was started in 1955 and is awarded to an illustrator of a distinguised children's work that was originally published within the United Kingdom. The award was named after an English children's author and illlustrator. I recognized two Kate Greenaway Medal winners that I have read before: Helen Cooper's Pumpkin Soup and Bob Graham's Jethro Byrd, Fairy Child.
