The Monarch Award
|
The Monarch Award is given annually (beginning in 2005) to an
author and/or illustrator of a book voted as their favorite by participating K -
3 children in Illinois. The award is sponsored by the Illinois School Library
Media Association (ISLMA) and is designed to encourage Illinois students to read
critically and to become familiar with children’s books, authors and
illustrators.
The award is named in honor of the Monarch Butterfly, Illinois’ state insect.
The butterfly symbolizes growth, change and freedom–qualities that also
characterize the emergent reader.
