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 and the Vermont Departments of Education and Libraries.

...and the winner is...The Princess and the Pig by Jonathan Emmett, illustrated by Poly Bernatene! The final voting tally will be released before the end of April.

(For the first time in our Red Clover memory, it was a close race, with two books duking it out for the winning slot. Phew!)

The 2013 Red Clover Award Conference will take place on October 2 with James Solheim, author of this year's Red Clover Award winner Born Yesterday: Diary of a Young Journalist.

Nominees for the 2013-2014 award are posted on the VT Department of Libraries website.

Applications for free book sets (funding provided by the VT Agency of Education) are still available. If you haven't yet received your books, please email us.

The new guide will be available on or around June 1.

Most of the activities in the new guide are based on the Vermont Framework of Standards (and the new Common Core State Standards) and provide dynamic and thoughtful learning experiences for children. Extending the discussions and activities will help to address even more.

NEW! Red Clover stickers! Now you can print them out yourself.

NEW! A Red Clover Award bookmark of all the winners!
