We have recently launched the shortlist for the Sheffield Book Children’s Book Award 2022.
We have a short film that features all the books and explains how you can take part. Why not take a look, then pick your favourite and vote?
As a bit of background, Sheffield Children’s Book Award was launched in 1988 to encourage children and young people to read, and to celebrate the best literature published each year.
If
your child’s school subscribes to the Sheffield Schools Library Service, then
the books will be available through their schools or you can borrow all of the
titles from your local library.
The
selection of titles on this year’s shortlist is amazing. The children are going
to have difficulty choosing which one to vote for in each category.
Voting forms are available at all Sheffield Libraries, which can be filled in and handed to staff. Or, if you prefer, you can email your chosen favourite books to sheffieldchildrensbookaward@sheffield.gov.uk
If
you are wanting to discover a new author or genre of book for your child then we
are sure that at least one of these books will become a new favourite.
We
hope you enjoy them as much as we have!
