Past Winners KIDS FAVORITES
The annual KIDS FAVORITES are new books read and rated by thousands of children, teachers, and librarians in rural, suburban, and urban schools and libraries across the U.S. every year!
KID READ. KID CHOSEN.
Each year, thousands of children, teens, teachers, and librarians across 50 states read newly published K-12-grade books and vote for the ones they like best. Over 70 coordinators nationwide display hundreds of publisher-submitted titles in their schools and libraries so that every book can be read and voted on.
After the voting by the young people in their care — which resulted in the KIDS FAVORITES — we are happy to announce the 2026 TEACHER FAVORITES and LIBRARIANS FAVORITES!
