Massachusetts Children's Book Award Winners
The Massachusetts Children's Book Award was established as a program to encourage children to read great books.
The children themselves vote for the book they think deserves to be named the book of the year.
The award was started in 1975 by Dr. Helen Constant. The award program was developed because children in
intermediate grades seemed to lose interest in reading after learning how to read. The award is sponsored by Salem
State College in Salem, Massachusetts.
