The Red
Clover Book Award is a statewide children’s choice picture book award under the
auspices of the Vermont Department of Libraries. The award is named after
Vermont’s state flower and is given annually to one of ten committee-nominated
picture books that receives the most votes from Vermont children in grades K-4.
What
makes a picture book “work”?
In a
successful picture book, text and illustration work together to make an
interactive whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. A picture book
begins with an idea. Sometimes this idea is in words and sometimes it’s in
pictures. What do authors and illustrators do to turn an idea into a book? Do you think the process is easier if the same person writes and
illustrates a book? Why or why not? Which books on the list are written and
illustrated by one person? Which ones are created by two or more people?
Authors usually do not have a chance to tell illustrators how they would like
to have their books illustrated. Why do you think this happens this way? If you
were the author, would you like to tell the illustrator what you wanted? If you
were the illustrator, would you want the author telling you how to do the
illustrations? Why or why not?
It's time to
vote!! Don't worry if you did not get to read or hear all of the books. As long as you heard at least five of them, you are all set. There is a ballot below, but in order to vote this year, you will need
to make a comment telling me which book you like the best. If you are not able to comment you may have your parents help you send me an email. jrussell@rivendellschool.org
Remember that you
can only vote for one book!
