Calling First to Fourth Grade elementary school students (and their teachers and librarians).
Time to vote for the Irma Simonton Black and James H. Black Award and the Cook Prize!
Deadline April 15, 2013.
The Irma Simonton Black and James H. Black Award for Excellence in Children's Literature (Irma Black Award) goes to an outstanding book for young children - a book in which text and illustrations are inseparable, each enhancing and enlarging on the other to produce a singular whole. The Irma Black Award is unusual in that children are the final judges of the winning book.
The award is presented each May at a breakfast ceremony held at Bank Street College.
How to participate in next year's award
First and second grade readers will be choosing their favorite picture book after careful thought, deliberations, discussions, and dialogue! We hope you and your classes have fun while learning about the joy of reading! Fill out the Registration form .
VOTES ARE DUE ON APRIL 15TH.
