Administered by the Ontario Arts Council, the Ruth and Sylvia Schwartz Children’s Book Awards recognize artistic excellence
in writing and illustration in English-language Canadian children’s
literature. The award was established
in 1976 by Sylvia Schwartz in memory of her sister, Ruth Schwartz, a
respected Toronto bookseller. In 2004, the Schwartz family renamed the awards to honour both sisters.
Each award is accompanied by a $6000 prize, generously funded by the Ruth Schwartz Foundation.
