the reading, study, and writing of children's literature; to provide a
forum for all points of view and levels of experience in children's books;
and to gather and share information about children's literature. The association
sponsors book awards that motivate reading. CLAU annually sponsors awards
in four categories: Utah Children's Picture Book Award; Utah Children's
