The Massachusetts Children's Book Award Program was founded by Dr. Helen Constant 1975 to encourage children in the fourth, fifth and sixth grades to read great books. It also gives children a chance to voice their opinion and choose the book they think deserves to be named the Massachusetts Children's Book of the year. Students are given a “master list” of book titles. After reading three of the books, students may vote for their favorite. The list is compiled from nominations of participating teachers, librarians and interested publishers. A selection committee works with the nominations and chooses 25 titles to appear on the master list.
Read at least 3 books from the list and then vote! When you vote you will list the 3 (or more) books that you read and select your favorite.
Voting will take place between now and March 12, 2020 . The link to vote will be found on this site under VOTING .
