Our 2021 winners won't be able to make it to the NCSLMA conference this year, but they have accepted the awards virtually! Ryan T. Higgins accepts the 2021 North Carolina Children's Picture Book Award for Be Quiet! and Jen Wang accepts the Junior Book Award for Stargazing. (The file was too big to upload so please click on the text to view Jen Wang's video.)
The North Carolina Children's Book Award program is a children's choice program designed to introduce children to current children's literature and to instill a love of reading. The award is sponsored by the North Carolina Library Association's Youth Services Section and supported by school and public librarians across the state.
