The Georgia Picture Book Award program is sponsored annually by the Department of Language and Literacy at the University of Georgia. The purpose of the program is to foster a love of reading in the children of Georgia and to introduce students to books of literary excellence. After hearing at least ten of the twenty nominees, students will vote for their favorite. Our votes will be sent to UGA to be included in the final count for the winning nominee. We are looking forward to reading these awesome books this year.
