John and Patricia Beatty Award

The California Library Association's (CLA) John and Patricia Beatty Award honors authors and/or illustrators of distinguished books for children and/or young adults that best promote an awareness of California and its people. Patricia Beatty donated the initial endowment, which now honors both her and her husband. A committee of CLA members selects the winning title from books published in the United States during the preceding year. The award was established in 1990. In October 2021, the CLA Board of Directors voted unanimously to allow the Beatty Committee to select an additional award for young adults. Each award winner is granted $500.[21] [22] [23] The 2023 award winners were Wake, Sleepy One: California Poppies and the Super Bloom, written by Lisa Kerr and illustrated by Lisa Powell Braun, published by West Margin Press, an imprint of Turner Publishing Company; and The Peach Rebellion, written by Wendelin Van Draanen and published by  Random House Children's Books, a division of the Penguin Group.
