Book Review Committee of the National Council for the Social Studies
Previously for books written for K-8, it has recently expanded to include K-12 selections. "The selection committee looks for books that emphasize human relations, represent a diversity of groups and are sensitive to a broad range of cultural experiences, present an original theme or a fresh slant on a traditional topic, are easily readable and of high literary quality, and have a pleasing format and, when appropriate, illustrations that enrich the text."
