Every state, via their library or educational associations, selects reading lists each year, highlighting the best of the best in children’s book publishing. The chosen titles are shared in schools and libraries, and then voted on by students at the end of the year. We are beyond thrilled to have fourteen titles across sixteen states on these reading lists this school year! Learn a little more about them below.
