Earlier this summer, the longlist for the Toronto Book Awards was announced. Established in 1974 by Toronto City Council, the Toronto Book Awards honour authors whose works deepen our understanding of Toronto’s diverse communities, cultures and history. Anne of the Library-on-the-Hill by Catherine Little, with illustrations by Sae Kimura (Plumleaf Press) made the longlist. The shortlist will be announced later this summer, and the winner will be announced at a gala event on October 15. This year, the award carries a cash prize of $20,000 to the winner, with each of the remaining shortlisted titles receiving $2,000.
