About the Coretta Scott King Book Awards
Author and Illustrator winners and honors, plus the John Steptoe Award for New Talent (author and illustrator recipients, one category), from each year's page on the Coretta Scott King Book Awards Round Table site. A book honored in both the Author and Illustrator categories appears once in each. Illustrator-category author fields name the writer, then the illustrator. No Steptoe award is listed for 2012 or 2013. The Virginia Hamilton Award for Lifetime Achievement honors people and is excluded.
