Children’s Choice Book Award Winners

Happy Children’s Book Week and congratulations to the winners. The Children’s Choice Book Awards are the only national children’s book awards that are actually selected by the target audience: children!

The awards are organized by The Children’s Book Council (CBC) in association with Every Child a Reader (ECAR). The awards were conceived to give children a place to voice their opinions about the books that are being written for them.
