The Georgia Children's Book Award was established in 1968 by Professor Sheldon Root to foster a love of reading in the children of Georgia. The award is given for picture books and middle grades books, grades 4-8. Twenty nominees are selected each year by teachers, media specialists, and public librarians.
Students read the nominated titles throughout the year and cast their vote for the finalist. The winning author and illustrator are featured guests at the annual conference on Children's Literature. |
