PICTURE BOOK HALL OF FAME

INDIE CHAMPION AWARD (formerly Most Engaging Author)

Winners are selected by owners and staff at American Booksellers Association member bookstores. All of this year’s finalists represent the types of books that indie booksellers champion best. In addition, the E.B. White Read-Aloud finalists reflect the playful, well-paced language, the engaging themes, and the universal appeal to a wide range of ages embodied by E.B. White’s collection of beloved books.

Good luck to all our GBF authors who are finalists!
