What have teachers and students said about the Red
Clover Award Program?
"The best part about the books is exposing students to different
genres, multi-age grouping and sharing of books, and connecting
books to the outside world."

How Are the Nominees Selected Each Year?
The Red Clover Award nominees are selected by a committee comprised
of Vermont teachers, librarians and sponsors. The committee reviews all
picture books published in the prior year.
The list of nominees is published each March. Here are the book selection
criteria:
- The book must have been published in the prior year.
- The award is for the entire book-text and illustrations.
- Both the author and illustrator must be living at the time of the
selection.
- Only one title by the same combination of author and illustrator
may be chosen in a given year.
- The books must be appropriate, in the aggregate, for a range of children
in grades K-4.
- Both fiction and non-fiction are eligible.
