2010 North Carolina Children's Book Award Nominees

The North Carolina Children's Book Award began in 1992. Each year since then, school and public libraries
participate in the process of selecting, studying and voting for the next winner! Members of the North Carolina
Library Association's children's committee select a group of picture books and junior novels from suggestions
submitted by North Carolinian school children. The list of books is then given to each school and public library
throughout the state. During the course of the year, classroom teachers, media specialists and public librarians in
North Carolina encourage children to become familiar with the nominees and vote for their favorite title in two
categories: "Picture Book" and "Junior Book". The award is therefore truly a children's book award - selected by the
children of the state of North Carolina!
Reviews for all titles coming soon!
