TEHRAN -- The Institute for Intellectual ‎Development of ‎Children and Young Adults (IIDCYA ‎or Kanoon) has held an exhibition of books which have won Theodor Seuss Geisel Award ‎which will run by May 21.‎
The Theodor Seuss Geisel Award is given annually to the authors and illustrators of the most distinguished American book for beginning readers published in English in the United States during the preceding year.
The winners, recognized for their literary and artistic achievements that demonstrate creativity and imagination to engage children in reading, receive a bronze medal. Honor Book authors and illustrators receive certificates, which are presented at the ALA Annual Conference. The award was established in 2004 and first presented in 2006.
The award is named for the world-renowned children’s author, Theodor Geisel. “A person’s a person no matter how small,” Theodor Geisel, also known as Dr. Seuss, says. “Children want the same things we want: to laugh, to be challenged, to be entertained and delighted.”
Brilliant and playful, Dr. Seuss charmed his way into the consciousness of four generations of youngsters and parents. In the process, he helped them to read.
