The E.B. White Read Aloud Award

The E.B. White Read Aloud Award was established in 2004 by The Association of Booksellers for Children (ABC) to honor books that its membership felt embodied the universal read aloud standards that were created by the work of the author E.B. White.

The E.B. White Read Aloud Award
Awarded for"universal appeal as "terrific" books to read aloud"
CountryUnited States
Presented byABC Children’s Group division of the American Booksellers Association
First awarded2004 (2004)
Websitewww.bookweb.org/membership/ABC/EBWhitewinners

In 2006 the award was expanded into two categories: The E. B. White Read Aloud Award for Picture Books, and The E. B. White Read Aloud Award for Older Readers. Titles are nominated for the award by ABC booksellers, and then the final decision is made by a committee of booksellers that meets annually in February. The awards are publicly announced, and the official presentation takes place, during a children's dinner at BookExpo America. They are announced in conjunction with Indies Choice Book Awards.

Because the award nominees are generated by independent booksellers based on books they have loved in their own stores, there is no formal outside submission process.
