Texas Bluebonnet Award

What is the Texas Bluebonnet Award?

The Texas Bluebonnet Award sponsored by the Texas Library Association. It is a unique program that encourages reading for pleasure for students in grades 3 - 6.

The Texas Bluebonnet Award is one of the most prestigious children’s choice literary awards in the United States. 

Each year, 20 books are chosen for the Texas Bluebonnet Award Master List. Schools and libraries around the state participate in the program, encouraging students to read a minimum of five books from the list. In January, students vote for their favorite title. The author of the book receiving the most votes wins the Texas Bluebonnet Award (TBA) which is presented at the Texas Bluebonnet Award presentation held during the TLA Annual Conference in the spring.

The Texas Bluebonnet Award Program ENDS on January 29, 2024!
