Announcing The Shortlist for The B&N Children's & YA Book Award!

The Children’s & YA Book Awards play an important role in shaping children’s literature and celebrating exceptional talent in children’s publishing, which creates a national platform for new, little-known, and emerging talent in Children’s Publishing. 

Shannon DeVito, Director of Books, Barnes & Noble, said, “Our booksellers have curated astounding shortlists of books that have captured the essence of Children’s and YA publishing over the past year. The six titles in each category represent such a diverse offering, highlighting books that have been percolating throughout the past year as well as books that will be a new reading experience to our customers.  Narrowing it down and voting on the winner will be a challenge our booksellers are surely up for.” 

The shortlist reveals 6 books in each category of Picture Books, Young Readers, and Young Adult. These 18 books are selected by the booksellers at Barnes & Noble who specialize in Children’s bookselling in stores across the country. These great books are:

The Barnes & Noble Book Awards Picture Books Shortlist: spark the imaginations in our youngest readers.

The Barnes & Noble Book Awards Young Readers Shortlist: Magic, myth, and real-life choices appeal to our independent readers.

The Barnes & Noble Book Awards Young Adult Shortlist: Hard-hitting plotlines and complex characterization

The winner in each category will be announced in May. At the same time, the overall winner of the Barnes & Noble Children’s and YA Book of the Year will be crowned.
