The Georgia Book Awards are given each year by the College of Education at the University of Georgia. Twenty picture books and twenty fiction books are nominated each year by Georgia teachers and media specialists. In March students in Kdg - 4th grade vote for their favorite picture books and students in grades 4-8 can vote for their favorite fiction book. This is a wonderful way to introduce excellent literature to our students.
