Children's Book Awards
Welcome to the Children's Book Award page! Here you'll find information on all the latest award-winning children's preschool and grade school, fiction and non-fiction books to have won prestigious awards both nationally and in New Hampshire.
The Brookline Public Library includes most of these gold and honor medal winners in its collection, all awarded on the basis of either:
1. Superlative illustrations that combine both storytelling and art (the Caldecott Medal, the Ladybug Award),
2. Rich and lively prose and storytelling by American authors (the Newbery Medal, the Great Stone Face Award), or
3. Captivating photography coupled with informative text (the Silbert Award for Non-Fiction).
Teachers and librarians highly recommend all the books in the lists, which are not only beautifully illustrated and/or photographed and fun to read, but also satisfy many of the Common Core Standards of literacy, including (depending on grade level) key ideas and detail, craft and structure, and integration of knowledge and ideas.
