The Red Clover Award promotes the reading and discussion of the best of contemporary picture books in nearly all of Vermont's elementary schools. Each year over 20,000 K-4 students read, or have read to them, the ten nominated books.

The Red Clover Award is co-sponsored by the Vermont Center for the Book / Mother Goose Programs, Windham County Reads and the Vermont Departments of Education and Libraries. Funding has been provided in part by the Windham Foundation.

The Red Clover nominees for 2012-2013 have been announced! Vermont elementary schools: The application for free book sets will be posted by February 15.
