The Great Stone Face
Children's Book Award
2008-2009
The Great Stone Face Book Award
is sponsored by the Children's Librarians of New Hampshire
(CHILIS) and is given each year to an author whose book receives the most votes
from fourth
through sixth graders throughout the state. Each year a committee chooses 25
recently published
titles, which children then use as a guide for voting. The vote takes place
every April during National
Library Week, and the winner is announced in May. The purpose of the award is
to promote reading
enjoyment, to increase awareness of contemporary writing, and to allow children
to honor their
favorite author.
Great Stone Face Nominees 2008-2009. Voting will take place in April during National Libray Week (April 12-18, 2009) and the winner will be announced in May. Last year's winner was Rules by Cynthia Lord.
