Award Winning Charlotte Zolotow

Only a few of these childrens book awards are given each year.

Award winning children's books written just for young children are a little harder to find.

The Charlotte Zolotow award is given to the best picture book of the year, and it must be for children younger than seven. In addition, the book cannot be an early reader.

The award is given in honor of Charlotte Zolotow, who was a University of Wisconsin-Madison alumus. Zolotow worked as a children’s book editor and also wrote over 70 children’s books herself.

Exploring these titles has been a joy. There are some great books this year, and I think you will enjoy reading them.
