What have teachers and students said about the Red Clover Award Program?

What's the history of the Red Clover Award?

The Red Clover Award was created in 1995 by Vermont's Windham County Reads, a non-profit literacy organization dedicated to bringing families and books together.

Conceived by Eileen Christelow and named for Vermont's state flower by Jessie Haas, this children's choice award was designed to help young children experience the unique genius of the picture book and develop a lasting appreciation for excellence in writing and illustraton.

The Eyes of Gray Wolf, written by Jonathan London and illustrated by Jon Van Zyle, was the award winner during the program's initial year in Windham County, Vermont, and the program quickly went statewide under the leadership of Mother Goose Programs.
