What are the Kids’ Book Choice Awards and how can young readers voice their choice?

The Kids’ Book Choice Awards (previously the Children’s & Teen Choice Book Awards) are the only national book awards voted on solely by kids and teens. Launched in 2008 by the Children’s Book Council and Every Child a Reader, the awards provide young readers with an opportunity to voice their opinions about the books being written for them.

The program relaunched in 2021 including a new name, tagline, logo, and categories with finalists selected through nationwide long list voting. The redesign was done by SJI Associates.
