Award Winning IRA Childrens Book Awards




Award winning IRA Childrens Book Awards give honor to distinguished books for primary and intermediate reading levels. The writers can be from any country in the world.

The International Reading Association's (IRA) children's book awards are given to an author’s first or second published book. The childrens books can be from any country and in any language.

Winners for the childrens book awards are selected for primary, intermediate, and young adult fiction and nonfiction.

I'm looking forward to snatching time to read some more of these books! Especially 1000 Tracings, since I love WWII History.
