PEN/Steven Kroll Award

The PEN/Steven Kroll Award is awarded by the PEN American Center "to acknowledge the distinct literary contributions of picture book writers."[1] Established in memory of Steven Kroll, a former PEN Trustee and Chair of PEN's Children's/Young Adult Book Authors Committee, this honor was awarded for the first time in 2012 for a book published in 2011.[2][3]

The award is one of many PEN awards sponsored by International PEN affiliates in over 145 PEN centers around the world. The PEN American Center awards have been characterized as being among the "major" American literary prizes.[4]
