Beskrivning

There are a huge number of awards and prizes recognising books for children and young people locally, nationally and internationally. A large amount of time, energy and resources goes into these awards, but what role can these play in building a culture of reading for pleasure and how can their impact on readers be maximised, particularly within changing and often challenging shifts in society?Book awards are often highly successful in acting as a catalyst to growing positive and strongly connected communities of readers. This book explores how these communities form, how participation in book awards can strengthen relationships and bring together people from different backgrounds all unified by a common purpose. The chapters in this book bring together insights from a range of expert contributors, including academics, librarians, authors and activists, with case studies from across the industry that provide practical tips and takeaways to engage young readers.Edited by two leading experts on children's book awards, this an ideal guide for teachers, literacy leads and librarians looking to understand and utilise the power of book awards.
