Youth Booklist - Monarch Nominees and Winners (K-3rd grade)
In April 2003, the Illinois School Library Media Association approved the establishment and support of The Monarch Award: Illinois' K-3 Children's Choice Award.
The name Monarch was chosen because of its familiarity to K-3 children and to symbolize the growth, change and freedom that becoming a reader brings. The Monarch is designed to encourage children to read critically and become familiar with children's books, authors and illustrators. The program is open to all K-3 age children in Illinois.
Children who read or had read to them at least 5 of the 20 nominees are eligible to vote each February.
Complete lists of previous years' nominees are available at the Youth Services desk. Previous years' winners are below.
